| Video Discription | It's a real rarity: Beethoven's so-called 'Easy Sonata' No. 19 is hardly ever played in concerts. Perhaps this was not even intended. The pianist Kit Armstrong performed the intimate work at the Beethovenfest in Bonn’s Bundestag Plenary Hall, on September 10, 2023. 00:00 Andante 03:40 Rondo. Allegro Ludwig von Beethoven named his Piano Sonata No. 19 in G minor Op. 49/1 'Easy Sonata'. This beautiful, light-hearted music from 1805 only has two movements — andante and rondo. It is said that Beethoven composed it under financial stress, and the sonata was created to teach friends and pupils. In fact, many of Beethoven's sonatas were not intended to be performed in public. They were composed for his pupils or to privately entertain friends. Yet over time, they made it to the public. The 'Easy Sonata' rarely appears on concert programs, perhaps because it is not a challenge for masterful virtuosos. But for US pianist Kit Armstrong, the sonata is a crowd pleaser thanks to its melodies and harmonic ideas that are so flawless one hardly pays attention to its perfection. Kit Armstrong was born in Los Angeles, in 1992. Nowadays, he is not only a sought-after pianist and organist, but also a composer, music researcher, mathematician, biologist, and physicist. At age five, Kit Armstrong was already playing the piano and even composed his first piece of music. Armstrong attended elementary and high school simultaneously and was the youngest student ever admitted to Chapman University in California. At age nine, Kit Armstrong transferred to Utah State University, where he studied music, mathematics, biology, and physics before moving on to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. He graduated with honors from the Royal Academy of Music in London. As a solo pianist, Kit Armstrong has worked with many of the world's most renowned conductors, including Christian Thielemann and Robin Ticciati. He has also performed with famous orchestras like the Vienna Philharmonic and the NHK Symphony Orchestra. The pianist Alfred Brendel was Kit Armstrong's influential mentor. At the age of 94, he still follows the career of his gifted pupil © 2024 Deutsche Welle Watch more concerts in your personal concert hall: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_SdnzPd3eBV5A14dyRWy1KSkwcG8LEey in our playlist with piano concertos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_SdnzPd3eBU7k2TJgrgNCc9aygnNkaGZ and in our Beethoven playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_SdnzPd3eBWcX1eOXH-w75x-_-7gRF-w Subscribe to DW Classical Music: https://www.youtube.com/dwclassicalmusic #beethovensonata #beethovenpiano #beethovenpianosonata [6jbzKB9IdLg] |
