Dec 2, 2008 - Written in 1801, published in 1802 I think, so just as he was beginning to have hearing problems but would not be deaf for several years yet.

Dec 2, 2008 - Seriously if your ready and willing to critisize this guy playing this piece on a technical basis as if your fucking beethoven atleast Sound like a fucking poet the way Beethoven did instead of this convoluted bullshit like (not a perfect performance there are wrong notes and he's not even looking at the keyboard.) what is this? piano and keys or music? fucking schmucks this is why classical died yall can't see it for what it is you fucking mainstream cunts. go fuckyourselves with a black dildo.

Solarev Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Please stfu, this guy was one of the great pianists of our time. Yeah he made some mistakes here (He was very old here and a parkinson patient, so duh?) Nonetheless he plays it better then the most people who think they are pianists. Don't be a pessimistic bastard who thinks he knew Beethoven irl. You didn't so like I said, stfu...

olubankai Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Doesn't this guy look like Emperor Palpatine? Lol. He did an amazing job.

Toxxic88 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - I hate idiots who only listen for mistakes and not the piece itself. Kempff is regarded as one of the best Beethoven interpreters of all time and he had parkinsons disease and for his age, this video proves he was the best.

J700T Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Wow, imagine him as a piano teacher! He'll be like the teacher from Karate Kid, "Wax on, Wax off!" Piano teaching, Old style =]

07jungh Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - is his face always like htat??? man it hurts my eyes anyways his really good better than most people and who cares aobut the mistakes?

Inuyasha389 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - The notes at times are too fast to be consciously played at tempo and the only way to do it according to Arthur Rubinstein (who better to ask) is to play it slower until you have a kind of "finger memory"

Dec 3, 2008 - I hear people complaining about mistakes. so what? This is excellence condensed. Mistakes of this calibre only serve to make something more unique.

K2armada Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - For some reason I can't thumbs up this comment. Totally agree though. Great comment.

classicalcomposers Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - Well this is called English. Get with the times, kid.

GirFromInvaderZim Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - those aren't mistakes, they're merely slips

uvh Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - others only play this piece of art and many times too fast, he is living in it!!!

dtarni Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - that piano- steinway n sons is difficult to play on! lol. the touch is weird.
