Thank you so much for your teaching. I learned the 2nd movement first. I found Mozart difficult. Not with everything. But some things. I have to work hard at it. But never mind. I just love it. So, I stay with it for a long time. As a child, I was with music, because my mother loved it. I listened to the radio in a small village, near Switzerland.

This Chanel is absolute treasure, and is so underrated, couldn’t agree with you more Janna about the difficulty level, and practice requirements. Your piano both sounds and looks beautiful, absolutely enjoyed your video, thank you

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial! My student just picked it out by ear and wanted to learn the rest of the piece as you said! I love how you put book references in this video. In all of the music books, it’s easy to get lost. Thank you once again!

Thank you so much for this brilliant tutorial. Thank you to Melody Payne for directing me to this wonderful resource of Janna Williamson. @Janna would you direct me to your preferred pianists who play this piece and also to your video on teaching scales. Thank you! Yours in music

Hi Lisha - thanks for watching! Whenever I post one of these videos, I write a corresponding blog post; this one has recommendations for pianists whose playing of Mozart I enjoy, so click here to check that out. I mentioned Mitsuko Uchida and Alica de Larrocha. I also love listening to Murray Perahai and Andras Schiff for classical-era works. www.jannawilliamson.com/blog/how-to-teach-mozarts-sonata-k545

@Janna Williamson thank you very much, very interesting with excellent advice and tips, i can play the 1st movement, and the other day managed to sight read all the 2nd and 3rd movement, iam also learning the sonata k 331 in A major, again I managed to sight read the theme, 6 variations, and the rondo alla turca, with a few bars of the menueto, a bit patchy a few little mistakes, but I am very pleased with my progress as iam humbly speaking a self taught pianist, I taught myself to play the piano at the age of 15 yrs old, I am 53 yrs old in August, can I please ask do you have any advice or tips in playing the 2nd and 3rd movement of the k 545 and also the k 331, so I can use as I cont to play these fab sonatas by Mozart, also you mentioned the trills begin on the above note, is that the same with the trills in the k 331, greetings from wales uk.

@XiaochenChenUSA Год назад

Can you talk a bit more about the playing scales in triplets? I’m not sure how to practice like that. You mentioned there will be another video about it. I can’t seem to find it.

@JannaWilliamson Год назад

I never ended up making that video, sorry! I will see if I can record a quick tutorial, but here's what I do with my students: Put the metronome on at a slow speed (maybe 60). Play the scale 2 octaves in eighth notes (2 notes per click). Then play the scale 3 octaves in triplets (3 notes per click). Then play the scale 4 octaves in 16th notes (4 notes per click). All at the same tempo. Let me know if you have any questions!

@eltonwild5648 8 месяцев назад

Do you have a video about hand rotation? And hand rotation while doing trills?

@JannaWilliamson 8 месяцев назад

I don't have a specific video on this, but Kate Boyd the Piano Prof @ThePianoProfKateBoyd has a great one! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cx8wpfFCwms.htmlsi=ah1YpPvc7KExW2Yp

Hi Janna! Which grand are you playing on? I love the wooden finish :D

@JannaWilliamson 2 года назад

Hi there - my piano is a 1999 Yamaha C2 with oak finish that we bought in 2019. You can learn more about it in my studio tour video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A9jcXRsA1Kw.html

@@JannaWilliamson A nice piano Janna, well tuned and good clarity for the pieces you play ! The Mozart piece is classed as “intermediate “ in several pianist magazines. However, I find "harder pieces” easier than this. Maybe my scales need more work. A very good piece for developing technique. Thanks Janna. 👍

Great teacher do you have private lessons on internet ?

@JannaWilliamson Год назад

At this point, I'm offering lessons for local pre-college students or online consultations for piano teachers around the world. www.jannawilliamson.com/lessons

@eltonwild5648 8 месяцев назад

Bpm range for this piece?

@JannaWilliamson 8 месяцев назад

I think anything from about 120-150 could be acceptable. Find your favorite artists and clock them with a digital metronome app to see what they do!

@eltonwild5648 8 месяцев назад

@@JannaWilliamson even 120 bpm for quarter notes for me it's not realistic. My teacher is wrong, this piece is not for me yet.

@JannaWilliamson 8 месяцев назад

There are many similar pieces at an easier level. I’d recommend Clementi’s easiest sonatinas. Kuhlau Sonatina Op. 20, No. 1 sounds a lot like this Mozart!

@strangenessEPR Год назад

The scale runs when in F Major is a pain in the ass for me. As simple as it looks, I always mess up with the black keys.

@JannaWilliamson Год назад

Things never feel quite the same when transposed!

@strangenessEPR Год назад

@@JannaWilliamson Absolutely! But what I mean is that in this specific piece I have difficulties to position the hand correctly to hit the black keys in between the white keys, specially because they need to be hit with the 4th finger several times. I can’t believe I’m struggling so much with this “simple” piece 😭

@JannaWilliamson Год назад

@@strangenessEPR Make sure that your hand is not playing too far out on the edge of the white keys, but instead moving in towards the fall board. If you're too far out, then the 4th finger won't be ready for the flat. I hope that helps!

@strangenessEPR Год назад

@@JannaWilliamson I’ll try this!!! Thank you! 😊
