[LMMS] Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 21 (Waldstein) ~ 3rd movement (The Dawn)
Hello people, this is my "Waldstein Sonata for Busy people" :P
I got my favorite sections from the 3d movement and merged them with some original sections like I did with my last Sonic music video. Feel free to give feedback because I plan to try to orchestrate this version someday.
I am using only the Clarinova piano soundfont in this song. I only used the PianoOneVST to show that animated piano keys, but it does not produce any sound.
Sonata info from wikipédia:
"Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53, known as the Waldstein, is one of the three most notable sonatas of his middle period (the other two being the Appassionata, Op. 57, and Les Adieux, Op. 81a). Completed in summer 1804 and surpassing Beethoven's previous piano sonatas in its scope, the Waldstein is a key early work of Beethoven's "Heroic" decade (1803–1812) and set a standard for piano composition in the grand manner.
The sonata's name derives from Beethoven's dedication to his close friend and patron Count Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Waldstein of Vienna. Like the Archduke Trio (one of many pieces dedicated to Archduke Rudolph), it is named for Waldstein even though other works are dedicated to him. It is also known as 'L'Aurora' (The Dawn) in Italian, for the sonority of the opening chords of the third movement, thought to conjure an image of daybreak.
It is one of Beethoven's greatest and most technically challenging piano sonatas. The first section of the Rondo requires a simultaneous pedal trill, high melody and rapid left hand runs while its coda's glissando octaves, written in dialogue between the hands, compel even advanced performers to play in a simplified version since it is more demanding to play on the heavier action of a modern piano than on an early 19th-century instrument."
