Svira čika Alfred Brendel - Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia iliti "Moonlight sonata" (3rd mov)

One of the greatest sonatas ever. Sonata nº 29, Hammerklavier, op.106.
Performed by Alfred Brendel and recorded in 1970.

Bagatelle for fortepiano in A minor "Für Elise" [For Elise] WoO 57
Tempo: Poco moto

Performed by Melvyn Tan, fortepiano

*Though scholars don't know for sure who "Elise" was, it is more than likely that this piece was actually
dedicated to Therese Malfatti (niece of Beethoven's physician, Dr. Johann Malfatti) to whom, it seems,
the composer proposed marriage.
The "Elise" may be an incorrect transcription of the title by the discoverer Ludwig Nohl.
The autographed manuscript has been lost and the piece itself was not published until 1865.

Poslednja Sonata

Claudio Arrau, one of my favorite pianists, plays Beethoven Sonata Opus. 111 No. 32 1st movement. (1970)

Ludwig van Beethoven,
piano sonata no.26 in E flat major op.81a "Les Adieux"
(I) - Das Lebewohl (Adagio - Allegro).
Claudio Arrau, piano. Recorded in 1966.

The Rondo a capriccio in G major, Op. 129, (original full title: Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio) is a piano rondo by Ludwig van Beethoven often called "The Rage Over the Lost Penny" (or "Rage Over a Lost Penny") (from German: Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen). This nickname was not Beethoven's own, and this work was first published after Beethoven's death.

Despite the late opus number, this piece dates from 1795 when Beethoven was 25 years old. It was left incomplete by Beethoven and subsequently finished by the publisher/composer Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) who also gave the work its popular title.

Artur Schnabel (1882-1951), piano
Recorded in 1937.

Dedicated to those who fell victim to the financial crisis (and probably lost more than one penny), and to those who didn't know that Schnabel did have a virtuoso technique - though, because of the maniacal tempo, there are a few notes disappearing under the table here, but that's a small price to pay (so to speak)!
