The lecturer lives and breaths Beethoven. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal!

Jonathan Biss communicates, so profoundly, the essence of the musical experience. He does it with consummate authority, both as an exceptional pianist and as a lover of Beethoven's music. So many MOOC courses end up sagging. This one never sags; it soars to and through its finale.

Great lectures, great playing, excellent and enjoyable course. Thank you, Mr. Biss and Curtis Institu

Extremelly interesting! I am so unhappy I don't have enough time now to attend the course properly.

Excellent, great fun, Jonathan Bliss is a top teacher, thanks !!!!!

Jonathan Biss is really Beethoven Geek of all Geeks. Thanks!

I have finished this course and I highly recommend it. I am a musician moving from the rock and jazz genres into classical music and have been taking a number of classical/opera related courses. This one is a standout. Take this course, you will be happy you did.

Fascinating trip through the marvellous Beethoven sonatas.

Although I love them since many years, I'm very happy to see that It's always possible to progress.

Many thanks Jonathan.

Absolutely loved this course! Jonathan is amazing and he has inspired me so very much. I can hardly wait for his next series.

Although I have completed the course I still go back to it to listen to Prof. Bliss teachings.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was presented with great knowledge and passion, and despite being full of musical terminology and detail, it was always accessible to me as a non-player. I learned so much about how this wonderful music was structured and composed.

La música de Beethoven me gusta mucho y más la manera que fue impartida por Jonathan Biss. Felicidades a Coursera y al Prof. Biss. gracias.

Mindblowing, exquisite explanations and a broad look on Beethoven's work. Simply magnificent.

So far, excellent!

Fantastic course! Very informative.

I think the second part of the course was improved. Jonathan demonstrating more on the piano (as opposed to just explaining -- as he did more of in the first part) was a great addition.

Looking forward to Jonathan's next concert!

The lectures given by Jonathan Biss are nothing short of excellent and inspirational. I am certainly wanting to continue my music education.

Just fantastic. Love the info and love the playing!

Very good demonstration and analyse on Beethoven sonata and raise your interest in further exploring classical music

Awesome!

Very interesting historical background and a paced, clear presentation of the musical techniques employed by the pianists. Very enjoyable if you are a classical music lover.

excelent course, gives me the inspiration and motivation that i need!!

In depth analysis in a field that I was not familiar with. I recommend it to everyone whether they have an interest or not.

Prof. Biss is outstanding, clearly articulating his interpretations and providing exceptional playing. Loved the level of detail both technically and academically. Far and above other Coursera music offerings I've sampled. More please.

For a Beethoven fan (or dare I say geek) this is an absolute joy. I'm 'only' a listener, but passionate enough to take on this wonderful journey through these piano sonatas with Jonathan Biss, he's just awesome and makes me want to come back over and over again ... for more. Please keep adding.

Thank you for this opportunity to learn more about Beethoven and his music.
