EARTHLY STRUGGLE - Beethoven Sonata no. 32 in C minor, Op. 111 mvt 1 - Analysis tutorial

Pianist Henrik Kilhamn takes on this monster of a piece. Beethoven returns to the roots of Bach and counterpoint and fuses it with his typical dramatic charge in this movement from his late period. The music is so intense with extreme dynamic contrasts and fugato treatment of the core motif. Every note matters in this struggle for survival on earth. 0:00 Intro 0:18 About 4:22 Form 5:39 Analysis: Introduction 11:36 Exposition 20:04 Development 23:20 Recapitulation 31:20 Coda 33:43 Performance RECOMMENDATIONS 📖 Charles Rosen: “Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas - A Short Companion“ (2002) ⭐️ PATREON: 🔗 WEBSITE: ⭐️ EASY ARRANGEMENTS Simple Solutions - For the Intermediate Pianist: 💲 -15% DISCOUNT Code: “secretseeker“ ▶ Sample videos: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano sonata no. 32 in C minor, Op. 111, mvt 1: Maestoso - Allegro con brio ed appassionato.
