The year was 1968. I had just returned from Korea, where I had served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army and had just entered graduate school at UNC-Chapel Hill. Near the end of my tour, I had heard Mozart's Alla Turca Sonata played at Seoul's Renaissance tea room and I resolved to buy an album of Mozart sonatas when I got back home. The first one I ran across was one newly released by the young Daniel Barenboim, of whom I had never heard. My favorite piece on the album was this one. Not long after, I met a beautiful Korean grad student and was able to get her to come to my apartment to listen to this wonderful music with me. We will celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary this August. Thank you, Daniel Barenboim.
Thank you, David, for your beautiful love story. Herr Barenboim can still make angels weep. Angelic devils such as DB age well. Apparently, so have you! From an American (kind-of-Jewish), married in 1968 to a Singaporean/Chinese UMass/Amherst classmate. This, too, is one of my favorite Mozart sonatas. Exquisitely, reverently performed by this keyboard genius. Oh, so easy for Maestro Barenboim! With love and kindness, Lilian Duval
I learned this when, at age 20, I read that this was Einstein's favorite, perfect sonata. In advanced theory class, analyzed the middle movement. I'm 74 and I play this masterpiece at least monthly. This was a beautiful performance.
Most versions I've heard go too fast, as if the pianist is showing off how fast he/she can play it. I really like this comparatively leisurely pace. Спасибо!
My name is Eliya, I am 11 years old and I am learning this piece.. Barenboim (to me) plays magnificently! Bravo! This is so inspiring!! Wow, so incredible ! To have control and sense of rhythm with musicality at the same time is just.. 🤯 :)
I only have one problem with Barenboim. After listening to his versions, in many cases I fail to enjoy other interpretations. He is often just so deliciously respectful, really bringing the beauty of the music to the forefront.
The spirit of sounds of Mozart’s music will have been crystallizing itself wonderfully as well as fantastically with the melodies both harmoniously and exquisitely woven of Beauty and Simplicity eternally in the hearts of Mozart lovers around the world.
The expressions are written on the sheet, Barenboim just follows whats written. Mozart is the true genius here but Barenboim still is an amazing virtuoso.
After listening to this sonata being played by the greatest pianists, there is only one that really makes Mozart spirit come alive, Glen Gould's passion
I’m not we’ll enough informed to agree or to disagree. I think this is magnificent but it was Glen Gould who most fostered my love of classical music, so I will always appreciate what he offers the world.
I'm awesomely happy to feel a certain kind of spiritual energy pouring through my ears into my heart on listening to the sounds of the melody exquisitely woven of Beauty and Simplicity.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the awesomely wonderful synergy between Mozart’s inhuman mentality and the piano’s potentiality has crystallized into a timeless work of art in this universe.
One of the most elegant and tasteful pianists, plus he was privileged to spend nights with Jaqueline du Pre, an incredible cellist who was stolen from the music world by MS. I appreciate they zeroed in on his G-F trills with the 3-1 fingering. My trills have always sucked, with the 3-1 being my best. DB's trills never suck, but it makes me feel a little better that the 3-1 is his choice, too.
Might look harder than it really is. Then again that will depend also and what kind of repertoire you've mastered and played before tackling this particular sonata. But having said that, this sonata, not unlike most Mozart sonatas, is fairly easy to read. Now to perform it at the level of say Ingrid Haebler, Mitsuko Uchida, Barenboim, Pires, Brendel, Eschenbach, well yes, that's a different story of course.
Баренбойм умеет играть и понимает то, что играет. Он понимает Моцарта, а Моцарт не тот парень. который открыт для всех и готов выложить перед вами всё, что имеет. Он как гном, крепко хранит свой горшок с золотом, но Баренбойм добрался до этого золота.
If Mozart’s too early passing had any meaning, it could be said that as his creativity in composition comes from basically outside of his life experience, he has no need to accumulate a wealth of life and he has completed his missions from God.
This is my favorite melody of all the Sonatas. I know Wolfie chose his keys very carefully, and I am intrigued that he chose BFlat M. I always considered G, D and A as the happy keys, but this makes me reconsider.
Sonata kv 333: Giocosa,melodica,sublime,sentimentale,monumentale,eccentrica,creatura divina, Beethoveniana ad un passo della più assoluta felicita' indiscussa.
Mozart's music has helped me out a lot. I don't like it as much as Beethoven, but whenever I play it on piano it seems like it helps get me in a better mood faster than Beethoven
Mozart lived 12 years less than Beethoven and composed for many more genres…most notably Opera. He was certainly more versatile. Mozart and Bach are the giants among the giants.
@@justinnoble6506We still gotta give credit for dark emotions and the romantic era to beethoven About operas, it’s sad to see the lack of output from Beethoven. He always had wanted to compose some, but failed with the first (in popularity). Finance always was a problem for musicians sadly
Oh my goodness, his touch is phenomenal! Each note has a bell-like quality. I like this better than Uchida's and Joao Pires's versions, although I do wonder if the quality of their microphones are all the same. Just gorgeous!!
Just do it one page at a time. Practise extremely slowly and try to speed up little by little. It took me months just to write it, don't expect to learn fast. hope I could help.
@@vivaseussonhos Lol. Are you Beethoven pretending to be Mozart? Beethoven was a meticulous composer and it often took him months to work a piece out. Mozart was quite the opposite: he was more like Bach in the way that his composing sessions were spontaneous (Bach famously wrote one cantata a week for his church for years). In fact, for Mozart, his sonatas were a way to make quick money since they are short and they sell many copies, unlike his masses (which were in general long and took longer to just write out all the notes with a quill) and his operas (same problem plus the time it took to collaborate with a librettist).
@@gundvr1846 haha yeah even though it's technically easier than some other pieces I've played, it is really easy to mess up. I just finished memorizing the 8 page first movement.
Overall this is my favorite Mozart sonata. I have had dreams about playing this as well as Barenboim. I don't think anyone can challenge me in saying that I have watched this video over 5,000 times!
I challenge. That means you’ve spent almost two thousand hours with this video. Possible if you listen to it every day on repeat and while you sleep. But there’s other Mozart sonatas, Beethoven sonatas, Beethoven symphonies, Chopin, Schubert etc. I Don know if I’d feel bad or be jealous that you love it that much
@@gour348 I think it's great I just listen to it an hour or so ago while I was cleaning the kitchen. As far as Beethoven, his sonatas are great also, but Mozart's are better. I think Chopin's ballede's and Waltzes are my favorite
@@buggapound I’ve listened to the complete Mozart sonatas dozens of times. Even played and performed some too. But as a whole Beethoven was more adventurous and innovative when it came to sonatas. Mozart’s sonatas weren’t really performed to the extent of Beethoven’s. Beethoven’s are like concertos. Mozart’s are more for a small gathering (usually)
@@gour348 You're absolutely right about the sonatas. Still, as far as listening, I find myself drawn more to Mozart. As far as playing, I can barely eke out Fur Elise. I need lessons.
Today, I was put on a hold when I called Sysmex customer service. This music was playing. I immediately guessed that it was one of Mozart's creations. My coworkers had their own guesses. I pulled out Shazam on my Apple Watch and proved to them I was right!
@@MrPianoMatt12 i have a halftimejob and a small Flat and Parents that understand my Dream of being a Pianist and they Support me. In Addition i sleep just 5 hours a day
