I've listened to this and it's growing on me. At first I thought it was weird to change the key down to G-minor, but now I can see why it makes sense technically. The playing is very good. I love that crazy-high D-flat in measure 61. That is awesome-- it made me smile-- it sounds so exuberant.
I just love this recording of Hartmut and Diana's , the simplicity of the piano accompaniment allowing the viola's true sound to phase in and out appeals to me.
This is the playing of a great artist - it is fascinating to hear how Lindemann's playing has evolved over the years. A decade earlier his playing of this work offered much by way of the sensual, but here the sensibilities are more restrained, classical, but in some ways more deeply felt.
Was für eine wundervolle Interpretation der Arpeggione Sonate! Der dieser Sonate innewohnende Widerspruch, - große, tiefe Gefühle einerseits, Gassenhauer andererseits -, weiß Hartmut Lindemann, begleitet durch eine großartige Diana Baker, in ein großes Ganzes einzubinden. Hartmut Lindemann spielt die Sonate wie aus einem Guss, er bringt ein Epos zum Klingen, das von irdischem Vergehen, vom Wandern sowie vom Suchen und Finden neuer Wege zum Licht erzählt. Dabei ist Lindemanns subtile Interpretation unglaublich farb- und nuancenreich. Um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen: unfassbare Portamenti, mal zart und anrührend, mal brillant und auftrumpfend; ein sotto voce, das einem den Atem nimmt und gleichzeitig süchtig macht (Reprise und Coda, 1. Satz); eine Helligkeit und ein Strahlen, das einen unwillkürlich die Augen schließen lässt, dabei so milde und rein (Thema 2. Satz). Unmittelbar danach erschütterndes C-Saitenspiel; ein im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes himmlischer Ländler, wie er auf dieser Erde noch nicht getanzt worden ist (3. Satz). Alles klingt dabei so selbstverständlich, dass die Lindemannsche Virtuosität nahezu in den Hintergrund gedrängt wird. Das Violaspiel von Hartmut Lindemann ist wie von einer anderen Welt. Aus einer Welt, in der das, was wir heute als Tempo bezeichnen noch Zeit hieß und in der Sehnsucht noch nicht mit Gier verwechselt wurde.
The piano sound is gorgeous!And the balance is also excellent. all in all this is a most consistently musically intelligent There were tiny moments when I felt that the line just seemed to droop for a nanno second and there were also moments when the piano growled a little too aggressively for my taste. But overall, a loving and lovely performance.Well done!.
Tansposing the whole sonata one tone lower makes perfect sense to benefit from open strings. However it does not make the piece significanly easier to play. Furthermore, there are lot of details here and there that I don't like: adding trills, adding octavas, playing in the higer range without necessity... Sometimes it looks like Harmut Lindemann aims at displaying his own virtuosity at the expense of the intimate and unassuming character of this sonata.
Patrick Loiseleur I think the large range is in the original. It's true that this Sonata is intimate and unassuming, but it has a great range. It's not the arranger, it's Schubert.
I was only able to find the score to the first movement from the link. Are the full score/part available as a pdf? I would really love to learn this transcription.
We apologize, the links to the Uni Münster where the Score was originally available were dead. As it is still Hartmut's wish to make them available in public domain please refer to the video description for an updated download link.

I have always felt that the Viola was the best modern instrument for this sonata, and this upload confirms that opinion

I am a violinist and jokes aside, this piece just makes the Viola sound so much nicer
I just love this recording of Hartmut and Diana's , the simplicity of the piano accompaniment allowing the viola's true sound to phase in and out appeals to me.
The viola is a 16.3333 inch viola (16 1/3). No wonder why it sounds so resonant and beautiful.....
Mine is a 17. It sounds more like a small cello haha
that’s one BIG BOY
I will from now on refer to violas as big boys
michael incorvaia same 😂

12:15 Haha, this is so over the top it's beautiful. Like an anthem of a long dead nation.
P.S. I love the way the written music is shown with the audio in this video-- it's really helpful. Thank you.

Great performance, I love it!
Such beauty! Hey, have any of you seen the video on CZcams of this sonata played on double bass? Quite amazing.
Little Kiwi Love the double bass version, it brings out the sonata's melancholy vein.
no cabe duda que es na gran obra de schubert sin importar la tonalidad en la que este Am o Gm es igual de hermosa.
Congratulations Hartmut! Beautiful playing, and thanks for the edition...all your secret fingerings there😁😁
I am considering dedicating time to learn this version.
Pensive and splendid and mysterious ！ 🍎
Wonderful transcription!

How about the Brahms Eb op 120? Wouldn't it work better in D?
I was only able to find the score to the first movement from the link. Are the full score/part available as a pdf? I would really love to learn this transcription.
Please refer to the video description for an updated download link where the entire Sonata is available now.
I wanted a score of that sonata, does anyone know where I can get it

How come in bar 12 it says to play an open string on the G that's impossible to play as on open string
What do you mean? YOu just use the open g string.
Emma Axelson sorry I meant bar 13
The Gaming Prophecy it probably means to use a harmonic.
Emma Axelson oh ok thanks
Hi. Is this published?
Yes. Available thru any Music score. Or go to International Music.com. or Virtual Sheet Music.
3 movemnt?
Why G minor?
+David A Bojanowski Técnicamente es más fácil interpretarlo en la viola, debido a su afinación, es lo mismo con el Contrabajo

Very bad
