Beethoven - Sonata 23 "Appassionata" 1st movement 

Finally! When this releases, I will watch it. Thank you, Flaming Piano! You are an awesome youtuber! Also, put this video in your classical playlist. 🙂

Subscribed!

Good job! This is the hardest movement of the appassionata imo and you played it very well. I've just started learning this piece as well

Thank you very much!!! I'd love to see this in your channel too!

Traum can you also upload appassionata?

Yes, @TraumPiano. Please upload your performances of Beethoven's Appassionata.

I agree. Thank you too!

Wow... thanks a lot!

That's an absolute nightmare... but thanks!

I'm pretty sure there's a certain hand technique to Beethoven's Hammerklavier, but I'm excited to see how The Flaming Piano learns how to play it, especially since he's done an outstanding job with several other difficult piano pieces like Appassionata Movement 3.

Thank you very much! That seems like the highlight of the piece, isn't it

Means a lot to hear that. Thanks!!!

Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot! It's an emotionally unstable piece, the sudden changes are its highlights. And yeah we've been subbed to each other ever since. It's always an honor for him to listen to my covers

@@TheFlamingPiano Wow! I never knew that you subscribed to another RU-vid piano performer's channel. It's really nice to hear that certain RU-vidrs subscribe to each other.

Thank you too!

Thank you very much! It's kinda doctored though

Thanks a lot! It's real but doctored, that's why it's "perfect"

Thank you very much!

Thanks again for your ideas!

Hehe... Thanks a lot!

Thanks! And yes I also find some passages very hard

@@TheFlamingPiano As did I, but I managed to learn to play the entire sonata. Regardless, I love your performance of the 1st movement in this video! Can't wait to see you perform the 2nd and 3rd movements together!

Eventually when I relearn it. It's been so long since I last played them

@@TheFlamingPiano Well keep up the good work! You've got 2 out of the 3 movements done in Beethoven's Appassionata. Can't wait to see the conclusion you upload for this sonata!

Already did it (but I plan to redo with 2nd) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WKzLKMRuqGY.html

@@TheFlamingPiano thanks

Yes but not anytime soon. 2nd and 3rd together

@@TheFlamingPianoThanks for letting me know, I’m excited and can’t wait for it. Also, Love your channel, keep up the great work you do! :)

@@TheFlamingPiano 2nd and 3rd together? Wow! These videos on just one piece are few and far apart, but I'm excited for when you release the final video on Beethoven's Appassionata sonata! Keep up the good work!

Maybe. The 1st's technique is harder to play consistently for me, harder to keep the rhythm and shape the dynamics ...or I play the 3rd way too much

Thanks! I hope to do the 2nd and 3rd in one go but not anytime soon

Probably red, blue or something close to white

@TheFlamingPiano Good choices, Flaming Piano! I like those colors.

Also, I think you should edit the thumbnail to have the words Sonata 23 in F minor, op. 57 below the title like in your thumbnail for the 3rd movement.

Can't really say as I'm not as familiar with Ballade 2 but I think it's possible if you put in enough hours of practice per day

I think you should go for it. Ballade 2 is fun to learn and play. (You mentioned that you already learned the fast parts and coda) The only problem that I had from trying to learn Ballade 2 is that I have no patience at all. 3 months should be more than enough to learn both Ballade 2 and Appassionata 3rd. (Depends on your time consume)

​@@Paganini-LisztI practice around 3 hours a day

If you have repertoire that already meets the requirements, don’t even think about starting those pieces. It might feel boring to stick with what you know, but a well refined medium piece is infinitely better than a mediocre advanced piece. The 2nd ballade is the only ballade I haven’t learned, but I believe it is by far the most difficult in technique. My piano teacher has a student who is similar to my level and we performed the four ballades in a concert. Even though he played with passion and good technique, the coda was really rough simply because it is so difficult to pull off properly. Every wrong note is obvious and damaging to the coda. Everyone is going to tell you to shoot for the stars, but you have no business rushing yourself for an exam.

@@faizalkhoury415 3 hours a day in 3 months should be more than enough. Depending on how much you progress. (You already did stuff in a week so this should be no problem to you). I still don't get why people find Ballade 2 that hard. I even rate it myself as the 2nd easiest one next to Ballade 3.

Thanks a lot, but not anytime soon

Yes
