Beethoven's Way of Playing Hidden in...a Piano Transcription!!

In this video, we delve into Beethoven's 5th Symphony and explore a fascinating perspective on historical performance practices. At Authentic Sound, we've dedicated significant time to understanding how composers like Beethoven used their metronomes. I discuss the Whole Beat Metronome Practice (WBMP) and its implications on interpreting tempo marks, contrasting it with modern practices. We also examine two piano transcriptions of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, one by Hummel from 1827 and another by Otto Singer Jr. from 1906, highlighting how performance practices evolved over a century. Join me as we uncover these insights and consider the broader implications for musicology and performance today. Don't forget to check out our 10-CD box set of Beethoven's symphonies and stream them on Bandcamp. Enjoy the journey into historical tempos and their modern significance!
