SHOCKING Stats on Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata
In this video, I delve into the metronome marks of Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata, focusing on the staggering and often deemed "impossible" tempo of 138 beats per minute. I discuss how many prominent pianists, including Schnabel, have struggled to reach these tempi and why many musicologists today view Beethoven's metronome markings as either mistakes or unrealistic. I also explore how tempo misconceptions have affected performance practice. Plus, I touch on the deeper question of whether we are really listening to Beethoven as he intended, or if modern interpretations have steered us away from the truth.
