RE: Spookily, I have trouble with Beethoven's Appassionata

Posted by rbolaw on August 11, 2015 at 07:24:26:
One problem may be that you've simply heard it and/or played it too often. I find it hard to listen to Beethoven's fifth symphony, especially the first movement, for that reason.
Beethoven's relentlessness can wear you out. He never knew there would be recordings and people listening to the same thing endlessly. In his time he had only one chance to grab the listener by the throat.
The late string quartets are another matter.
