HE'S A BEAST!! BEETHOVEN - MOONLIGHT SONATA REACTION 

Ethereal.

You can witness The Creation of Rock- Conception, Gestation and Glorious Birth by listening to IN ORDER, Beethoven’s 5th, 7th and 9th Symphonies.

To be well rounded musically, you must listen to classical!! Good job, young dude 😁

Beethoven. Take the big bite. Do his ninth symphony. One of the greatest compositions of aaaaaaalllll time. It'll rock your world. Blessings.

He wasn't 100% deaf and his deafness only emerged in his later years. Just for historical accuracy.

Beethoven and others of their time tap into your every emotion (1st movement is every moving yet 3rd movement is like you’re being chased in a nightmare) - true masters and they paved the way for modern music today 👏

You. Are. One-hell-of-a-Human-Being. Keep it that way.

Good job listening to this

Beethoven went deaf as an adult. He continued to write even after he lost his hearing. His music is an emotional roller coaster. Turn off your mind and just feel.

I remember you once reacted to The Velvet Underground, it would be cool if you listened to "Rock And Roll" by them

I yearn for classical music reactions because I know how well they will go over. Don't get enough of them. THANK YOU!!!

There are usually three movements in a sonata. Just wait until you get to the third :)

I was brought up with classical music and I am so grateful my father made me learn about it because it has made me appreciate music even more. I could suggest so much from many composers but it would be thousands of pieces. If you are interested in him as a person you should watch the movie My Imortal beloved. It's not totally historically accurate but it will give you a better understanding of him and his genius. He was a tortured soul. He didn't loss his hearing until later on life.

This’ll freak you out even more, he was deaf for most of his life He had an incredible “inner ear”

As a devout Yes fanatic... and growing up studying classical music... the 3 (well 4) biggest influences I find in their music is: beethoven, sibelius, *stravinsky...* and a touch of Beatles hehe.

If you want more, try the last movement of his 9th Symphony.

He went deaf late in his life. Still continued composing.

Speaking of Classical music, YES opened their concerts with the last several minutes of 'The Firebird Suite' by 'Stravinsky'. The entire piece is over 40 minutes in length. They played the part that's the most exciting, and then they'd all walk out onto the stage to the cheers of the audience, and the moment The Firebird Suite ended, they'd go right into their opening number, which often was 'Siberian Khatru'.

The classical Pope! Nicely done. Give his synthony #5 at try. There is great movie about Mozart that you got to see called Amadeus.Brilliant music, very sad yet very funny and excellent acting.

I think it’s time Pope listens to Pavarotti’s “Nessun Dorma” (if you haven’t yet)

A good reaction!

The third movement always makes me think Ludwig would have loved Heart of the Sunrise by YES 😀

A recommendation is his 9th symphony - especially the last movement called the "Ode to Joy". This symphony has often been described as the greatest piece of music ever written. Enjoy!

Beethoven is the man. Even stone deaf he laid down better music than you (or I) could ever dream of.

By your reaction I can tell you are very musical. Your hands show you pick up the hooks!

It’s like all the sadness and all the best stuff all at once. It’s real emotion in song

A very deep well in the Classical genre . Mozart , Bach , Brahms , Vivaldi , Handel , Mendelssohn ...ad infinitum . Rachmaninoff's Piano Concertos are as sublime as it comes .

OK, now you're becoming a musical nerd like me. Good for you! 👍😜

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Tarkus, Trilogy, the endless enigma

They said Beethoven's hands would sweep down the keyboard like a bird of prey coming in for the kill. They had to make pianos tougher, because he would break them.

Deep dive calling... Symphonies 1-9 . It'll change you , forever . Then his concertos (Piano 1-5 , Violin ) . Utterly top shelf , consistently .

Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture is a must listen along with handles water music and Bach's toccata (Sky do an amazing version) Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed the 1812 to commemorate the successful Russian defense against Napoleon I's invading Grande Armée in 1812. water music composed by George Frideric Handel. It premiered on 17 July 1717, in response to King George I's request for a concert on the River Thames.

Electric Light Orchestra/Roll Over Beethoven ALBUM VERSION

Classical music still reigns supreme. In Japan, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is played at New Year’s, all over the country, an annual tradition. The story goes (questionable) that when Sony introduced the Compact Disc format in the 80s, they used the Ninth Symphony’s length as the standard for the CD, roughly 75 minutes.

Maaaaaaaaaan… you’re doing CLASSICAL REACTIONS NOW??? I just listened to a book on the history of the genre! So many composers to cover (Mozart, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Handel, Grieg, DuFay, Hildegard, etc.) It’s also where jazz and ragtime was born from! Good to see you broadening your horizons more 😄

Wow, great to see you dive into classical music & what a place to start. The King himself! Man, this is one helluva rabbit hole. I became obsessed with his music 40 years ago in my 20's & still adore it. He wrote 32 piano sonatas, 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, an opera 'Fidelio' & many other amazing works. He began going deaf when he wrote his ground breaking 3rd Symphony 'Eroica' which heralded the romantic movement in classical music. By the time he wrote his monumental masterwork the 9th Symphony he was completely deaf, such was his genius. I could ramble on for hours. The greatest of his works IMO are the Moonlight, Appassionata, Waldstein, Hammerklavier & Pathetique piano sonatas, the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th & 9th symphonies, his violin concerto in D major, the 4th & 5th piano concertos, his opera Fidelio and his mass in D major The Missa Solemnis. Enjoy the journey!

If you really want to hear Beethoven in beast mode, listen to his Appassionata sonata, opus 57. Trust me on this.

You finally did it man! Classical music is where all music lovers gather after wandering around in the vulgar and common realms of modern music, that is only able to produce songs. Hopefully you'll check out more from the wide and huge genre, thousands of composers for hundreds of years! And they're all worth it

I look at the 3rd movement as the first headbanging piece of music ever written. lol The 1st movement was the first serious piece I learned on piano. It taught me how to read the bass clef. Awesome reaction. Do more classical. Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto will rock your world.

The piece was written in 1802-1803. Some musicologists speculate that the piece was partially a reaction to his encroaching deafness, which started in his mid 20's. By the time Beethoven was 50 years old, he was clinically deaf, but also wrote some of the greatest pieces of all time during that time.

Symphony #7 is played a LOT in movies. Also "Ode To Joy." In fact, you might want to just watch the movie "Immortal Beloved." And for a more fun movie with classical music, watch "Amadeus" about Mozart. He had a TON of hits!

Definitely check out Tina S doing this on electric guitar at age 17! Amazing!

My first experience of your channel. Very brave to play the whole thing without interruption. I’ll be back!

New subscribers here love seeing your reaction actually learnt to play this when I was 14 wish I had kept it up.(am 71 now)and still love hearing classical piano.

Symphony number five bro, first movement. You will be blown away

LoL ! you hear things ! only piano was there ! If you re willing and interested in the best composers of all times ! would you please play Symphonic Orchestras like Beethoven s 9th Symphony and there s so much more ! At one point you might even recognize E.L.P songs ! Waiting to hear more ! thanks !

I really enjoyed your reaction. I suggest you check out Vivaldi. The Four Seasons is his best known work. I would love to see you react to it.

That last part was very lively indeed. Yay! Go Ludwig!! For some interesting percussive classical music from around a hundred years ago, check out Edgard Varese' avant-garde Masterpiece called "Ionization". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a9mg4KHqRPw.html You might swear it was made yesterday. Very progressive. Classical and avant-garde are natural gateways into and out from progressive music. Music for the imagination. Great episode! More classical!

I agree with the other posters. Check out young girl Tina S. shredding the guitar to Moonlight Sonata

Excellent. Talking about classical piano pieces that are amazing you might look into List's second Hungarian Rhapsody. Franz Liszt was the "Pop Star" on the piano, in his day, If this piece sounds somewhat familiar to you, it might be because they used this music in a lot of the cartoons from the various studios, Back to Beethoven. He started going deaf in an irreversible process in his thirties, His famous last symphony was composed in total deafness. I believe he heard every note, in his head. I heard a girl on you tube tackle this particular work, The Moonlight,, the fast movement, on a electric guitar.. She's quite good.

Brian May plays part of Dvorak’s New World Symphony in his guitar solo on the current Queen & Adam Lambert Rhapsody tour standing on an asteroid surrounded by planets it’s amazing x

Classical music is the purest form music

He made the song for a blind woman who obviously couldn't see the sunset and the sunrise the first part is the sunset and then the middle part is the moon setting and the sun rising and then the last part is the sunrise

Great reaction. Don't get a lot of classical reactions out there. Check out the film Immortal Beloved, with Gary Oldman playing Ludwig VB.

Beethoven is one of the hardest composers to play to, (seen from a documentary). He is the rock of classical music 🙂

One of the finest piano compositions (imho) is this piece by Chopin, Prelude in D-flat Major, Op 28 No. 15: /6OFHXmiZP38 The story behind it (told in the description of that video) is incredible. The music itself is simply sublime. Almost puts me into a trance, it's meditative and arresting all at once. Hope you check it out and enjoy even if it's not for a video, you deserve to hear it :)

Beethoven wrote some of his best music when he was completely deaf, towards the end of his life, in the 1820's.

Calming and relaxing. One of my favorites.

Duuude! If you're going to embark on a classical music journey, can I recommend the Russian composers like Mussorgsky or Stravinsky? Based upon your love of bands like Yes, I think you would LOVE the soundscapes they create. Maybe start with "A Night On Bald Mountain" by Mussorgsky. That piece was used in the Disney movie "Fantasia" and it's such a vivid sensory experience.

It's been fun for me to listen to some music that neither of us are very familiar with. I'm familiar with a bunch of this from Bugs Bunny cartoons when I was a kid. But I've never listened to the entire thing. It was so enjoyable. Thank you this is why I love reaction videos we can all learn

Mozart- Requiem Mass D minor. Bach-Toccata & Fugue D minor.... please? Otherworldly 😊💯🥰

A beautiful piece of music. The 3rd movement is incredible, so now you have to watch Tina S play the 3rd movement on her guitar. I have no clue how she does it, but she hasn't been on yt for several years now. Hope she's still playing, cause she was incredible.

There’s a movie where Gary Oldman plays Beethoven and he was cocky!

Maybe some american prog . Early Kansas. Maybe "All The World" to start off.

Very Enjoyable !

@10:32 yes but he is doing very different things with each hand

SO glad I found your channel. I like to see people interpret what they hear in their bodies. Nice job on this one.

You have to remember it was a likeness, & of course they make him as intimidating as they all did in the day. He didn’t go deaf until late in life. The BEST Beethoven movie is Immortal Beloved. Gary Oldman who has done characters like Dracula, does an amazing job. It was debilitating, embarrassing, & awful for him to lose his greatest gift in the end.

Beethoven composed this sonata in 1801 about three years after he began to experience deafness.

Do you see this now.................its not all about survival of the fittest.....its the human soul finding ways to express its self.....

Sparks made a whole album called "Lil Beethoven" in honour of the old genius.. Austria and Germany were the hit factory nations of the time :)..

I also quite enjoy Beethovens pastoral symphony

Not to take anything away from Beethoven. He's definitely composed some all-time greats. But I've got Tchaikovsky at #1 and Mozart at #2.

I dated a "band nerd" who played this for me and I was hooked. One guy playing a piano could fill a concert hall lit with lanters and you had to ride a freakin' horse for five hours to get there. Oh, and there's like five things going on at once with two only hands.

Go for all his sonatas! Some are funny, dark, gorgeous, epic etc... and all his music is worth it as well as mozart bach Rachmaninoff Tchaikovsky stravinsky and lots others john williams movie scores are also worth a solo listen!

Whilst we're on the subject of classical music, you might consider trying Ralph Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 5, especially the first piece called Preludio Moderato, followed by A Lark Ascending. Such beautiful music that feeds the soul.

anyone that says classical doesn't bang need their head checked

Now that you have heard the original version, check out Tina S. Cover on the electric guitar! Better put a seat belt on your chair and strap in.

Like going from Zepp to Floyd ...your next move is MOZART. trust me :)

The slow movement at the beginning is hugely influenced by Bach ... Also, a go-to to invoke mood in countless movie/TV scenes. If you are ever in Tucson, I'll lay some symphony tickets on you. I get comps since I'm a player. Huge amount of widely varied music by him. He was only deaf in his later life 🎹🎵and even if he's dead we can still hear him breathing here.

he went deaf midway lol

You should try VIVALDI'S four seasons.but.....done by the one and only ULI JON ROTH with guitar. Ex-scorpions guitarist from 74-78

The one dislike is Rachmaninoff

Pls listen to one of Chopin’s ballades. They so good 😊

Favorite reaction. You have such a great analysis at the end, not just average comments. Your smart comments made it into an analysis! Genius commentary

Try Tempesto sonata with Glenn Gould

Listen to Hungarian rhapsody no 2 next

Enjoyed your reaction and posted a couple of related links to videos that I thought you'd enjoy, but my comment disappeared. Maybe posting links is not allowed? Edit: In any case, to enjoy a related and fun video, look for "2CELLOS - Whole Lotta Love vs. Beethoven 5th Symphony". What could be better than Beethovan and Led Zeppelin? lol Two young cellists from Croatia who are classically trained but play a lot of rock. Also, look for "Gustavo Dudamel Beethoven 5 1st movement". Conducted by my personal favorite, Gustavo Dudamel, a young conductor from Venezuela who is fabulous. He is now the music director of both the LA Philharmonic and the Paris Opera. Amazing conductor conducting an amazing piece of music. :)

sounds easy to play but.............

I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet, but there is a video that many reactors watch of a 15 year old girl playing this on guitar that is crazy good. It's called "Ludwig van Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata ( 3rd Movement ) Tina S Cover". The 3rd Movement is the part of the song that started at 10:10, so it's not the whole song. You should check it out.

Yeah dude you know we could really expand your whole Horizons start doing some really cool Jazz you got some classical going oh my God there's this f****** whole world with all these Vistas just opening up to you man really you know makes me feel I don't know kind of excited that somebody is young as you it's getting this input man it's so important yeah so much yeah the funny thing is there is a limited amount of really great music but there is a s*** ton out there though even though it is limited I know that's kind of a contradiction in terms but let's just say that you probably have a long career ahead of you checking out all the Epic material that's out there okay captain

This is an interesting diversion from you Pope - didn't see this coming! As always, you're respectful of the piece and your enthusiasm shines through. May I suggest another interesting diversion would be reactions to some Hans Zimmer - lots of fold using the Prague concert and it doesn't seem to get blocked. Interstellar would be a great place to start! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6iEXJ1FK4R8.html

Try Bach and Mozart too

Let me tell you brother when you get to the 9th Symphony that's one he wrote when he was deaf so everything you thought of had to come from his mind and he knew how to get it down on paper how to get play the notes that needed to be played to make some music work that it had to be just like what it was in his head because he couldn't hear it and it was the most amazing music ever written performed or recorded yeah it's a pretty long Symphony it's like two vinyl discs I'll get back to you on the best performance the best recording of it is on Deutsch gramophone I know I know his last name is Carla John Google didn't get that right anyway I'll get back to you on that okay it's Herbert von karajan his performances the best if you really wanted to do that you should probably do like all the movements just do it like the record since it's two discs you got four sides so I would say do four reactions believe me my man you would be totally freaked out about how great that music is it is transcendent beyond anything you've ever heard I swear you just have to trust me on this one okay hombre I'll check you on the flip flop

In my ears this version sounds very mechanical. There are much better vesions available. My favorite Beethoven pianist is Friedrich Gulda, an Austrian pianist who was also in Jazz. And I think that makes him a great Beethoven player because Ludwig van was a person who smashed borders in music. And therefore I believe it takes a person who does not accept the borders of genres as well to get the best out of Beethoven's music. Without doubt the player of this version hit the right keys at the right time but there is something lacking in it. Not enough smoothness in the 1st movement and not enough wilderness in the 3rd. Gulda worked out these differences much better in my opinion.

tells a story with no lyrics I say shame on you to anyone that doest love this lol

It took me decades to realize that classical is the most powerful music. The problem is that there is a lot of genuinely boring classical music. You have to be selective. I tend to find symphonies a little bloated and dull, and prefer smaller ensemble compositions. I have also come to consider Johann Sebastian Bach to be the greatest musical genius in all of history, and consider Bach a good starting place. If you want to hear something really stunning, listen to Mahler's "Adagietto," (it's really a movement from a symphony).

You would certainly enjoy J.S. Bach's "Fugue in G-minor BWV 578" (3m51s), for example played by Charlie Brusquini on a church organ in Sweden 👍: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZdCuA7SbzaM.html

He eventually became deaf
