"I’m aware that writing about music is like dancing about architecture" Love this quote, I had never thought about it that way but I think you did a great job! Love how this piece turned out from your original draft. I also just re-listened to the Appassionata. Beautiful. You can tell its a full body experience for Lang Lang. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. He's clearly a master. Thanks for opening my eyes to his work!
For a non-musical person, this article gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57. With the added bonus of a superlative performance by Lang Lang. As @jonnybates says "headphones on, notifications off, screen full, volume up".
Fascinating article. I remember experiencing pollini abs arrau live in Lindon in this piece. Such different interpretations, yet both so convincing ...
I’ve always been more of the Classic era fan - it tickles my dreamy brain. But it’s writing like this that brings my appreciation for Beethoven and the “emotive romantic” up a hundred-fold. Great piece!

Thanks, Bennett! Happy to hear. And yeah, that's a perfect description of him playing
