I am very attached to this sonata, since it has been one of the first Beethoven's sonatas I have learned when I was still studying in Italy.
For sure, recording it 10 years later has been a fascinating journey where I rediscovered this piece under the new light of WBMP and saw new details that I was previously missing.
What felt great was especially the fact that I played it with very little pedal and I did not have the impression I was missing it at all. After many months of recordings, it's incredible how I got used to this new way of playing without the pedal and in a way, how I got addicted to the clarity and variety of sound, phrasing and articulation you can gain from it.
On the other hand, the passages where I decide to use the pedal, are so few that become even more special and create a new atmosphere.

Of course, in the earlier sonatas we don't find pedal indications by Beethoven and this certainly does not mean that he did not use it at all. Although, it is true that if we want to reconstruct the "older" school of pedaling (so the early 19th century), it is important to analyze the sonatas that do have pedal indications, so basically from the op.26 on. When one does that, he starts understanding that there is a certain pattern in the way of pedaling. Certainly much less than music of late 19th century, yet never indicated by chance but always for specific reasons.

I hope you guys enjoy this music as much as I did enjoy playing it and stay tuned on the channel, because we are going to complete all the Beethoven sonatas by the end of this year and release all of them in ONE HUGE VIDEO!!!

See you soon!!!

Alberto
