I am in the process of completing the Beethoven sonatas for this forum. The Hammerklaviar is the final one to do (for the 1st draft series) and so far I have mvt's 1 and 4 performance ready. While I finish the other mvts I will do all the Mozart sonatas (listed). Here are some spirited performances of the C, Bb & D. They are played quite fast (by my standards) so are quite brilliant even hampered by the odd wrong note. The final mvt of D is quite challenging it is almost a concerto/sonata.

C

Nice random rhythmical errors and use of pedal on scalar passages! Gorgeous piano sound!!

PV, perhaps any "errors" you may have perceived are due to the fact you have a flawed score. My own score is marked, "if it feels good, do it".

But I do agree with you about the gorgeous sound. How fortunate we are to live in an era when technology is able to so faithfully capture the sonorities of this unique instrument, as well as every nuance of BM2's performance. I was particularly moved by the page turns.

Aahh another one! Please keep posting! I have a large smile in my face each time you post.
What amuses me the most are in fact the comments and the self descriptions of the OP:

thumb I have more than a smile. I have tears from laughter. The others have chosen to ignore him, hoping he will finally abandon ship from lack of attention. But I'm hoping that BM2 will ignore them, and continue to delight one or two of us with his subversive antics. Life is serious enough as it is.

Personally, I'd like to challenge BM2 to stop wasting both his and our time and show us what he is really capable of doing.
