Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata - A Revolution in Music - GCSE Music Analysis

Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, written in 1798, between the French Revolution and the dawn of the new century, manifests all the turbulent characteristics of the period. It seems to re-invent classical musical vocabulary, pushing towards the Romanticism of the new age. In this video, The Music Professor analyses the first movement of this powerful sonata and explains just what makes it so extraordinary, and why it continues to be relevant to listeners today.

This is essential viewing for GCSE music students or for anyone interested in the birth of Romanticism or Beethoven in general!
