5 Minutes On... Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 27 (Bb major) | Daniel Barenboim [subtitulado] 

Dear Maestro. I would wish you could do five hours on Mozart. Thank you for your immense contribution.

Dear Maestro Barenboim, thank you once more for your so heartfelt, fresh and spontaneous playing, in spite of your deep knowledge! And also for your statement that in music many different approaches are possible. I think, Mozart’s music especially in most cases contains melancholy, joy and peace at the same time, and it rather depends on the musician and listener which aspect prevails.

muchas gracias maestro. Seria possible de hacer videos de 20 minutos? porque en 5 minutos no da mucho tiempo de enterder todo... pero muchas gracias !!

Daniel Barenboim , the UNCEASABLE HEART OF MUSIC .

I'm not a pianist but I could actually even listen to a "5 Hours On.." you simply rock!

Barenboim never simply plays the keyboard, he CARESSES the music OUT of the piano!!

I beg you, do the Chopin - Nocturne No - 20

Mr. Barenboim, l am always ASTONISHED at your incredible technique, your VAST repertoire and your perfect interpretation of so very many composers. I started taking piano lessons art age17+ in England. I was never taught anything about piano technique, although without technique one cannot play much. How do you develop piano technique on your own. (I am a retired neonatologist but l worship the piano...).

This is Mozart's best piece. There is utterly perfection in every bar and there is perfect balance throughout. It is personally and skillfully, artfully written and the counterpoint seems effortless and divine as the melodies. The piano and the orchestra are equal and there is no virtuosity, but just pure, elevated music. He wrote the cadenzas himself and they are the best ones of any concerto. About the character: it is certainly not sad, but not openly happy either. It is nostalgic and bitter-sweetly looking back at gone springs, contended by the present with the glance towards the eternity. Together with Die Zauberflöte this is Mozart's real farewell to life and not his requiem.

Thank you for directing the various movements so that we could enjoy even more what Mozart composed.

Mozart was laughing when he was writing this masterpiece.. I knew him personally. P.S and yes, I'm not crazy.

Thank you maestro for giving us these pearls of knowledge and interpretation. I had the opportunity to study piano for only 4 years, but those years were very important for all the rest of my life. Thank you again and greetings from Athens, Greece.

it must feel very good to play a piano with your name on it and your ideas in it !-barenboim piano design!

I could hear much more about this, you are able to explain great! thank you:)

Wonderful and insightful as always. For someone without musical training this elevates listening ability and reward. I'd like to see something on Satie's Gnossiennes

Como siempre, mil gracias, Daniel, por la música.

Mr. Barenboim, thank you for this mini lecture about Mozart his last piano concerto no. 27. Your lecture inspires many listeners to enjoy listening to the magic of all Mozart his piano concertos. With much appreciation, an please keep on playing Mozart, and other great composers for many, many years.

Thank you for this magnificent explication of Mozart's last piano concerto. With Mozart there is no death. I think Mozart lived in his music and knew what he was writing would live forever. Daniel is such a wonder. He is probably the greatest orchestral conductor on Earth. His magnificent piano abilities are sometimes forgotten in light of his consistent orchestral direction with all orchestras of the world and the magnificence of his conducting. If you read his biography, you know how great his piano playing was, but his musicianship was so outstanding that orchestral conducting became the logical extension of his art. Daniel could wear two hats and do that magnificently! Genius has its own reason for being and Daniel is a true musical genius whose art, like Mozart's, will never die.

Maestro, por favor. Un video de las variaciones Goldberg. Abrazo fuerte desde México.

Puedes hacer un vídeo sobre los "nocturnos" de Chopin?. Excelente trabajo.

I met you in 1992 or 3 when you visited Pablo Casals elementary school in Chicago while I was teaching music there at the time. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Thank you for this discovery, thanks a lot!

Thank you maestro! Please do the art of fugue. Or the well tempered harpsichord. That would be awesome.

❤❤❤❤❤❤i wish i had you as a piano teacher music 🎶 teacher your amazing your knowledge i can listen to you for hours ❤❤❤🎹

Abrazo grande Maestro!! Muchas gracias. Saludos desde México!!

I'd imagine death was on Mozart's mind composing his Requiem.

Did Mozart know he was close to death when he wrote this piece? As Barenboim notes, we can't know for sure. But one cannot fail to note that K. 595 is certainly the most wistful of his piano concerti. Particularly the slow movement, alongside that of the clarinet concerto, is one of the most heart-rending pieces of music Mozart ever wrote. Many have spoken of the "tear behind the smile" element in much of Mozart's music, but I find that element to be absolutely drenched all over this piece. Someone who really brings it out, and who has been criticized for misreading the time signature of the slow movement, is Schnabel in his wonderful interpretation. Does he play it too slowly? You can only play something too slowly if you fail to justify it, and boy does Schnabel justify it. If you haven't listened to it, you must, I'm sure it's somewhere on RU-vid.

I would make a terrible musicologist or journalist as all I hear is magic that I could not use words to explain :-)

Beatiful Master Barenboim your great pianist 😉

Barenboim's comment on the introductory figure in Vln II and Violas, in measure 1 (a kind of "noodling"), which precedes the opening melody in Vln I, at measure 2, is brilliant: "It's as if the music is ALREADY in progress, and we now encounter it, several bars in" (paraphrase). Fascinating idea!! One small disagreement: I think this piece does have hints of tragedy (and possibly even "looking back on his whole [short] life as death approaches") because of a single mercurial figure in measure 3: There, the violins play an E-natural sixteenth note ('foreign' to the B-flat key), which is immediately "corrected" to E-flat in the fourth beat of the same measure. I first noticed that mercurial phrase in 1957, and it has haunted me for all of these 67 years, although it was only recently that I decided to try analyzing how/why it works.

Thank you Mr. Barenboim! I would be interested in a video about Mozart's d minor piano concerto.

I LOVE Mozart's piano concertos

The concerto is not sad at all. Rather, through these notes seems like the spirit of the Master was looking at life with a tender smile.

Ese no es un actor de cine venezolano llamado Orlando Urdaneta??? Barenboim con chaqueta roja??? Jajajajaja Video Falso

🇦🇺💐 Thank you Daniel. I appreciate your wonderful insights into music. Best wishes always. 🌹

I would love to hear from you in a video your experiences with the great conductors of the past and their legacy for the world of music particularly furtwangler, Celibidache, Solti and Yourself.

Mozart entered the piano concerto in B-flat K.595 into his Verzeichnuess on 5 Jan 1791 - but the first movement was written out on late 1789 paper types so it must (like many 1791 compositions) have remain’d a fragment for over a year before it was completed. The third movement was bas’d on a theme for a children’s song ‘Longing for the Spring’ (enter’d into his Catalogue on 17 January 1791) so we may assume a late Dec 1790 / early Jan 1791 date for the Rondo. The fact that M. wrote out the cadenzas for this delicate Concerto suggests it was probably written for a pupil (perhaps Babette Ployer, the talented niece of Abbe Maximilian Stadler of Salzburg, whose heartfelt playing once brought tears to the eyes of Haydn) but as with all of Mozart’s compositions we must always be very wary of tying events of his short life to his musical output without hard solid dating evidence. Still, there is still something otherworldly about this piece with its resign’d mood possibly in reaction to the death of Josef II in Feb of 1790 which turn’d his world upside down with the accession of Leopold II who favour’d Italian composers & M. did not have the same friendly relations as he had previously with his elder brother Josef. He also was notified of a 100 ducat lawsuit brought against him in January 1791 by fellow Mason Prince Karl Lichnowsky whom M. had apparently defaulted on a loan...which might explain why he was forc’d to complete at least half a dozen of his musical fragments that had been lying around his Rauchensteingasse Apartment in 1791 in order to raise the ready-cash to pay-off the lawsuit...probably at the suggestion of his Wife, who, in his absence in Berlin in 1789 and Frankfurt in 1790, was often entrusted with having to deal with money lenders including ‘that very unChristian (usurist) banker Goldhahn’ ...

This enigmatic, unbearably beautiful concerto, should not be analyzed in less than 5 minutes as it is being done here...bad job, mediocre playing...

Sir, your informations on the classical era pieces are really wonderful. I'm your die hard fan sir. Love you so much... I always watch your moonlight sonata on piano, you have killed many of the hearts by your unimaginable talent on piano. Thank you so much sir...😍😍💐💐💐

Es un placer escuchar sus interpretaciones y pensamientos sobre el piano, su instrumento, pero con la perspectiva del gran director de orquesta que Ud. sin duda es. Un lujo

Dear maestro Baremboim, you're a genius! Thanks for that analysis, so much appreciated!

Mozart’s last piano concerto. Video plays Beethoven moonlight sonata 🤦‍♂️

Muitas bênçãos pro senhor, minha alma repleta-se de prazer ao apreciar seu belíssimo trabalho. Um alimento da melhor qualidade é o que a sua arte proporciona. Meu espírito voa alto ao te ouvir. Gratidão eternidade afora.

UD. Es magnífico explicando! Y por supuesto,interpretando. Gracias!

Sehr geehrter Herr Barenboim, könnten Sie ebenfalls Videos über Kompositionen von Richard Wagner machen?

Excellent explanation Sir, I am listening your conducted symphony since my school life now I am 48... Thank you once again Sir for the poetic explanation

Maestro Barenboim, gracias por compartir su arte y su experiencia. Mi admiración por toda su actividad musical que sigo siempre que es posible.

Not for nothing is Mozart regarded as the composer's composer, championed by Tchaikovsky at a time when Mozart's works were consider banal and predictable. I cannot understand a mind that in piano concertos alone he could write 27 of them and every one so different and charming but with so much hidden depth to explore in listening to them.

Wonderful!!!!!

Please do not open each of your wonderful programs with the Moonlight sonata. Jarring to have you introduce Mozart or Schubert listening to Beethoven!

mozart 35 years of age... just like the stint 5 minute barely touching only the barebones of this last piano concerto

I love these little insight even though I probably don't understand it. Thanks Daniel!

Si usted fuera alumno dando su tetis en la universidad de la Serena de Chile, no saca su título, los profesores no les gusta estos comentarios temáticos de explicar y tocar. Dad lo que quieren los profesores. Será pues. Muchas gracias.

about beethoven’s 2nd symphony 1st movement, I always imagine athletes running and jumping around. maybe one day you could talk about why beethoven does not use the timpani on the opening of his 5th symphony. regards maestro!

Muchas gracias por sus aportaciones! Si fuera posible me gustaría que hiciese algún comentario sobre sinfonías de Mozart. Un abrazo desde Buenos Aires!

Beautiful and so informative! More please! Speedy recovery Maestro!

This is my favorit piano concerto thank you very much Maestro😂🎉❤

Could you do 5 minuits on the polonaise op. 53? Thank you Maesto.

I feel that more time could have been given to the second movement in particular. Less time on Beethoven would have left more for the task in hand.

Excellent move, Daniel! Much appreciated.

Merci pour ces minutes trop courtes... ne pourriez vous pas nous offrir 5 minutes de plus en jouant plus longtemps et nous permettre de mieux intégrer votre explication ? Pardon, vous faites déjà beaucoup

Que Maestro!!! Barenboim tocando en un piano que se llama Barenboim.

Thanks for all of these “5 minutes”❤️

Gracias Maestro, por este vídeo y por su maravillosa vida, aportando a la cultura, al arte y a la paz en el mundo. Abrazo enorme desde Montevideo.

Great Show Dear Maestro Daniel! I love all your Work!

Estimado Sr. Barenboim, le escribo en castellano tras haberle oído hablar perfectamente el idioma y tras conocer que tienen usted nacionalidad española, israelí y palestina, lo cual es para mí una enorme sorpresa y me produce una inmensa admiración y orgullo. Tiene usted razón, referente a lo confuso que resulta definir lo que es correcto e incorrecto en la música: desesperación o alegría, optimismo o pesimismo… Sin embargo, existen dos fundamentos en el ámbito artístico y psicológico a tener en cuenta: el componente de entretenimiento (esto es, la capacidad de ofrecer al prójimo la posibilidad de olvidar el dolor, los problemas, los bloqueos durante unos minutos para “resetear” la mente) hacia el presente y el futuro y el valor emocional y motivacional de los sentimientos positivos. Por ello, yo me inclino por el “optimismo de entretenimiento”. Como nos explica usted tan amablemente, creo que Mozart también creyó en eso. Aunque por propia supervivencia, es conveniente ser optimista dentro del realismo del dolor humano, porque mártires músicos yo no conozco. Gracias y buen día, Alicia

And the rest of Solar Systems who listens to Classical music, or Mozart.

Isn´t there something metaphysical about the last piano concerto (like in the clarinet concerto and in the Requiem)? Something sublime, elevated, philosophical?

It is difficult to find Piano concerto No 27 on You Tube. I found in stead" Mozart, Piano Concerto Nr 13 C KV 415 Daniel Barenboim Piano & Conducting", and enjoy this

bravissimo maestro Bareboim

Master, the Mozart and Bach wrote their creations mainly in harpsichord. This means automatically that it is a completely different instrument from the piano! In construction and in the technical! Some people insist these Combined attach them to the piano without pedal and Colours! What do you think ? Thank you sir!

Thank you for this :)

the video is too short ... make it 50min instead of 5

Sr. Barenboin ¡¡Querido Maestro¡¡ MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS por su generosidad al explicar músicas ...¡¡Sus palabras, sus conocimientos y su placer al transmitirnos sus saberes, nos ayudan a escuchar mejor ¡¡Qué deleite¡¡ MARAVILLOSO¡¡ Le envío mis mejores deseos: alegrías y buena fortuna, para que continúe con su extraordinaria trayectoria, además de brindarnos más de estos enriquecedores videos¡¡

Dear Maestro. Could you make 5 Minutes on Beethoven's Sonata No.21 Op. 53 "Waldstein"? Ill be very happy - Its my most favourite piano sonata. Thank you.

i will be very satisfying if you would do the film about Beethoven's IV Piano Concert in g-major op.58 and V Piano Concert in e-flat major op.73 ,, emperor" I love these concerts.... it would be great to see film with VIII Symphonie and,, Egmont" Greetings from Warsaw great Maestro Daniel Barenboim

Four and a half minutes really.

I love your 5 minutes of teaching us your vast knowledge of music. Regards from Mexico City 🙏🏼

Maestro, could you please give a talk about what determines good (valuable,philosophical,deep,..) music from bad music (bad music might not be a good word but i do not know what elase should i call it). for example why the pieces written by Alkan are not considered as valuable as pieces by Chopin. or why the Moszkowsky's etudes are not as appreciated as Chopin's. or even how do you convince an innocent pedesterian who knows almost nothing about music that for example a Beethoven sonata is much worth to listen than a piece like "wedding of love"!

Did he know he was dying?

Thank you sir ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful introduction to this masterpiece. Thank you maestro. For Beethovens 2. Symphony, I used it to ride with bicycle a hill upwards. So much joyful energy...

Daniel Barenboim swings round on the piano stool and there at once is that sure touch. Mozart requires both boldness and delicacy. Mr Barenboim lives in that zone of grace and breathes its air like a native.

These are such valuable glimpses into such a wide range of issues confronting an equally wide range of piano repertoire. I cannot thank Maestro Barenboim for these glimpses, and almost always, I wish he had more than five minutes to offer his insights. Whenever the Maestro plays Mozart, it strikes me as a significantly different sound than his approach to almost every other composer. I covet that sound but have never been able to achieve anything like it in my own study of Mozart. I would very much appreciate a glimpse into what Maestro Barenboim does differently in playing Mozart to achieve such a convincing sound. In any case, many thanks.

Very glad to see you have this You Tube channel. I've been a fan of yours since I was a teenager, after purchasing your album of Beethoven's piano sonatas, which included the Moonlight sonata. I gave the album to my mother, who was captivated by the music and your masterful playing of these sonatas. I have it now on CD. Also the Klemperer collaboration--the five piano concertos, still nothing better recorded since, especially with the John Aldis choir in the 5th, which I think is the counterpart for the 9th Symphony Ode to Joy. I will tune in every time I need to get away from the stress of everyday life, and relax.

Thank you, absolutely love this piece, always reminds me of my brother when he used to play it!! And he sent me your Complete Piano Sonatas and Variations, which is just stunning 🥰😇 Having sung Mozart's Requiem and Mass in C Minor I can safely say I'm a Mozart fan! Respect ❤

Beautiful. You explained it straightforward without frills, without grimacing, or pretended agony !

With all the respect Mr Barenboim. Please, could you please say about your opinion in one of your personal favourites on Fransz Liszt? Looking forward to listening to your next video soon. With all my respect, wish you the best.

hello mr.daniel barenboim.i would sure like to hear from you what you think about scriabin's concerto.thanks alot for this helpful video!

Just a thought: perhaps Mozart put the extra bar in for the orchestra for maybe a sense of anticipation? Or maybe he did it because he could get away with it? Who knows, it is a beautiful concerto so it matters very little. Anyway, thank you once again for another brilliant video, Mr. Barenboim.

Mozart is the best!

Hola Sr. Barenboim: no soy Pianista, soy profesora de Danza Contemporánea formada también en Danza CLASICA. Le agradezco mucho estos vídeos en el cual nos educan cada vez más en la música de los grandes autores de la historia de la música clásica. Gracias por tener acceso a su conocimiento.

You still around?

I have several recordings of Mozart's music, but this piece is not on any of them so this is the first time I have heard any of it. Will have to search around to get a performance of it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Querido Maestro, muchas, muchas gracias por estas breves pero intensas explicaciones sobre aquellas músicas que nos presenta. Sólo, si me lo permite, le sugeriría, o más bien le agradecería, que quizá pueda explayarse un poco más en los ejemplos musicales. Siempre es un placer bucear y saborear sobre todo el conocimiento que usted tiene sobre los ejemplos que nos muestra. Con agradecimiento, Ricardo Soláns Armillas, Profesor del Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Zaragoza, España. Pianista acompañante de cantantes y director de orquesta.

The Mozart piano concerti are bits of heaven falling to earth, and I think, Maestro Barenboim, you give us the sound most like the heavenly one Mozart intended. I love your keyboard navigation so much! And your evocation of the short orchestral bar in this concerto, preceding the piano melody, as sounding like music “that had already been playing,” reminds me of the Greek tragedians typical introduction to most stories-“In media res,” the Latin translation says-“this story (or music) begins in the middle of things . . .”

Maestro, por favor. Ojalá nos regale un video sobre las variaciones Goldberg. ¿Dónde están los temas? ¿Por qué son tan importantes en la historia de la música? etc. Un abrazo fuerte desde México.

My grandchildren, ages 3 and 6, were fascinated with your presentation and the music. Thank you.
