You only need 1 bar.

Hi everyone!

Have you ever wondered what the strongest piece of evidence is that proves the historical reality of our beloved Whole Beat? Well, that happens to be just one bar (yes, only one) in Beethoven's Sonata Opus 31 No. 3.

Why, you ask? I explain all of that in this month's podcast, which is already the sixth in the series! I hope you enjoy my voice for the next 35 minutes. Please share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions with me!

Also, please keep me in your thoughts while listening; I'm currently working tirelessly to complete the administration work before Friday for the grant application of the Mozart's Requiem project!

Hartelijk,

Wim

I'm starting to think you're relying on me providing these links, Wim. Anyway, the link(s) can be found below. Alberto's recording of the sonata: https://youtu.be/U2mnxKVfW6A Page on IMSLP: https://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No.18,_Op.31_No.3_(Beethoven,_Ludwig_van) As for a suggestion on another topic, how about a similar argument to the one you just presented, but focussed specifically on repeated notes? Here you can easily use Czerny Op. 299, Nr. 22 as an example (H=96 with repeated 16th notes @ 6.4/s in whole beat, 12.8 in single beat). Alternatively for the Czerny haters, but perhaps less convincing, you can use Burgmüller Op. 105, Nr. 6 (Q=76 with repeated 32nd notes @ 5.07/s in whole beat, 10.13 in single beat).

thanks Kennith, that was meant to read beats, quite right. I need to catch up on the earlier posts on this subject so I can understand this better. Thanks for the helpful post and thanks again Wim for the content.
