The Emperor Concerto


     For the second to last posting of this semester, I would like to present one of the most gorgeous piano concertos of all time: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 II Movement, “Emperor Concerto.” The first time I heard this magnificent composition was a few years ago when the well-known concert pianist, Andre Watts came to perform with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra. I must note that I am not one to start tearing up during a concert or movie of any sort. However, this particular concerto played by Andrew Watts really hit me! The ethereal and enchanting harmonies that Beethoven used to create this masterpiece was absolutely impeccable.

Please sit back and enjoy this wonderful work of art!  Let me know in the comments below how it made you feel!
