02 Sonata n. 29 in B flat major, op. 106 - Hammerklavier - Scherzo Assai vivace
Artist: Walter Schenkman
Category:
XIX Cent.
Composer:
L. van Beethoven
Supported languages: Italiano
Extended description:
The huge Hammerklavier sonata takes all of 50 minutes in performance time. From the very first, a series of massive chord (in the opening Allegro movement) announce the serious nature of the work at hand. A brief moment of respite occurs with the light humor of the second Scherzo movement; but for the rest, the emphasis is on seriousness of pur pose and grandeur of effect. The Adagio (con molto sentimento) features intense concentration and sublime beauties, and is likewise a movement of unparalleled lenght among Beethoven’s works for the piano (all of 18 minutes’ worth!). The brilliant fugue that follows (generally considered one of the most difficult in all of the piano literature) forgoes the sense of unity cultivated in a typical Bach fugue, but rather exploits every conceivable transformation of the initial fugal subject (inversion, retrograde motion, augmentation, etc.), to bring the work to a rousing conclusion.
