About "Piano Sonata No. 25 in G Major, Op. 79 "Cuckoo" : Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 25 in G Major, Op. 79 "Cuckoo": II. Andante (Recorded 1983)" by Daniel Barenboim
The ‘Cuckoo’ sonata’s andante chirps with pastoral charm, yet Barenboim finds shadows in its simplicity. The repeated motif—a birdcall—becomes almost obsessive, a gentle unease beneath the sunny G-major surface. It’s a stroll through woods where something watches from the thicket.
