Be careful on your fingering, on the trills.

that's true but not if you're playing with other people. I heard that when Beethoven went to perform the "Emperor" concerto, he was completely deaf, and he was laughed off stage because he couldn't play in time with the orchestra. they kept having to start over and he'd yell at them for not playing loud enough.

Beethoven's answer to the Nazis through Dame Myra. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well he might have been deaf and couldn't hear what he was playing but he knew in his mind exactly how it was suppose to sound ... if you play an instrument you can close your eyes and plug your ears and play what feels right to you just looking at the music and if you do that you will find that you really do play better then you think.

It would probably sound really bad. He was known more so as a composer than a virtuoso pianist. Not to mention he was deaf when he wrote this.

Listen to her recording of Op. 109 sometime if you can. Myra Hess was an incredible talent, and as far as I'm concerned, unmatched (before and since) in Beethoven...

Sorry, I didn't make it clear... during World War II (before the days of computers) communicators often used "Morse Code", where each letter of the alphabet has a different format of short and long pulses (dots and dashes). The letter "V" goes ...- (dot dot dot dash) or pam pam pam PAM. The letter "V" was adopted by Winston Churchill (and the whole country) as "V for Victory", and the BBC used the motif performed on bass or kettle drum at every opportunity.Propaganda!!! (Hope that helps)
