Talk:Piano Sonata No. 32 (Beethoven)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Echo has identified Piano Sonata No. 32 (Beethoven) as a foreign language featured article. You may be able to improve this article with information from the French language Wikipedia. |
I've moved the following passage to this page:
- It has been argued that this movement is one of the best examples in the piano repertoire of the pianistic tradition getting it wrong. Most pianists, and all currently available recordings, have variation 2 faster than the initial theme and variation, and variation 3 as very much faster, whereas Beethoven’s was intention that the underlying pulse should remain consistent throughout the movement, so that the slow harmonic progression remains at the same tempo. This reading is caused by a misunderstanding of Beethoven's tempo markings and notation. A recording of this movement with the correct tempi is one of the most glaring omissions from the recording catalogue. A recording of this movement with these tempi would last over 20 minutes.
Reason: no source. If it can be changed to "The critic [name of a published critic] has argued that" instead of "It has been argued that" then it would be fine. But as is, it reads like the opinion of an individual editor, which is not legit on the Wikipedia. For policy, see [1] Opus33 15:30, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Personally i do not think the above is true at all. Arno Waschk 18:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- According to this thread (not sure if you can see it without joining the forum) on this passage (!) it's probably from an article by Robert Winter. Markyour words 10:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Translation
If someone were willing to transfer the images etc. from the French article, I would be happy to translate. Quendus 07:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
