    If Beethoven had an electric guitar, I'm sure he would have used it like this. He would have made such an impact. He would have been so noticed. He would have been suspended by his tutors. He would have been thrown out of every respectable venue in Vienna. In order to stay alive he would have gone underground. He would have staged the wildest concerts in the cellars of crumbling palaces, where his patron Archduke Rudolph would have attended in disguise - waving a burning lantern above his head.
    He would have held concerts beneath bridges that span frozen rivers, and in dark caves where none but the brave and the foolish would ever go. He would have gone on a celestial tour in a train of multi-coloured coaches, filled with the most rebellious of musicians. Hollow-cheeked young men with frazzled wigs and running stockings who would rock the crowds and not lay down their instruments before the sun consumed all the stars.
    The Pope would have excommunicated all of them. Kings and princes would have banished them from every realm. But still young blood would have followed them. Old maids with unfulfilled dreams, and watery-eyed old men who yearned to feel young once more. All would have followed his electric storms from one great city to the next one - always helping him stay one step ahead of the desperate fingers of mediocrity and convention.
    The electric guitar arrived too late to help Beethoven light up the world, but as it turned out, he didn't need it after all. He only had to touch the torch of inspiration to the waiting pool of humanity. It created a fire that made its own wind. And here we have it now, played the way that he would have. It burns warmer now than it did then, and not quite as hot as it will tomorrow.
    By its light we will see the future, and by its heat we will warm ourselves - and so escape the rising numbness which Beethoven loathed as much as we do now. Mediocrity cannot live as long as Beethoven is heard. No, Beethoven did not hear the music. He FELT it.

    People who don't play guitar can't appreciate how hard this is. Besides having to practice for, well, until you get it right, your hands and arms get tired playing like this from sprinting for 6 minutes. This means the longer you play, the harder it gets. You will also lose your breath and have to breathe harder.
    All that said, well done.

Granted I wouldn’t notice if he missed a single note here without constant reference back, but I have had a few teachers who wouldn’t miss any mistake and it made me improve as a player quite a bit

    Historically in context- guys like Grieg, Beethoven and Wagner WERE the Heavy Metal guys. They were darker and more foreboding than more approachable composers like Mozart or Vivaldi. They had intense and wicked compositions that could shock and intimidate the listener. For the time period- they would have been the edgiest thing out there. I think that is pretty cool, myself

    • @VanilliHammer

      It was the invention of the modern piano that let them do that. Mozart was playing on piano that was much more like a Harpsichord. It naturally lead to poppy brighter music because it couldn't carry deep, rich, and sustained tones. Beethoven was instrumental (pun intended) in popularizing the modern piano.

That said, whilst I can't play this well, I do know a few very basic things, and thus, have a rather decent grasp on the fact that this, probably, wasn't the easiest thing ever.

      It depends how much practice you put in those 40 years and how effective that practice was. Some people prob put more time in playing in 10 years or less than you did in 40, and they might have even done it more efficiently
      Thinking that doing something for a long time means you should be great is a huge misconception. The only reason that tends to be the case is because there's more opportunity for growth the more time you have, but it's not nearly the whole picture
      Just imagine if you "learn a language" for 60 years, one word per week. Are you ever gonna be effectively fluent like someone dedicating themselves to it will be in just a few years time? Hell no

    Dr. Viossy, my father has been a classical concert pianist all his life, and I've heard him play this piece many times. I was also a classical DJ for many years in the 80s. I really like our modern but respectful take on this great music. Seriously cool stuff.

    I love this, although I have enjoyed several other videos about this great piece, but this is the only one with no extreme camera movements or edited sound.
    Just great techique and more natural sound
