Information

Inhalt

Ludwig van Beethoven composed his Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor op. 13 at the age of 27. He dedicated it to Prince Carl von Lichnowsky, who allowed him to stay at his house at Alserstrasse 10, in what is now the 9th district of Vienna, between 1794 and 1796. Although Beethoven finished the sonata in 1798, it was not published until the following year, under the title Grande Sonate Pathétique.

This excerpt features the second movement of the Pathétique (Adagio cantabile), performed by Rudolf Serkin. The Adagio cantabile is probably one of Beethoven’s best-known melodies. It is written in A major, the key in which Beethoven wrote some of his warmest and most intimate melodies; other compositions in the same key include Piano Sonata No. 12 (op. 26) of 1801, and Piano Sonata No. 31 (op. 110) of 1821.

This recording by the Austrian-born pianist Rudolf Serkin (1903–1991), who emigrated to the USA in 1939, is a measured, controlled interpretation of the Adagio cantabile, but that control does not prevent it from being sharp and precise at the same time. Rather than taking a romantic-subjectivist approach, Serkin reigns in the expressive elements of his performance to achieve something more akin to an ideal of clarity and rationality.
(Eva Maria Peintner)
