Mozart - Piano Sonata No. 8 in A minor, K. 310 [complete] 

00:00 - Allegro maestoso, common time 08:09 - Andante cantabile con espressione, F major, 3/4 18:47 - Presto, 2/4

People complaining about the dislikes. Every video has dislikes, there are just people who hate on everything. It would've been weird if there were no dislikes.

74 dislikes !! how stupid are people hwo cant enjoy mozart's sonata...

The eerie sadness of this piece really brings out Mozart's sorrow - sounds like it could almost have been written by early Beethoven.

I really do love Mozart ! his pieces are very ...... not a word can describe beauty of his piece

He always did everything right. You could right a book alone on the phrasing of his music.

It really is a crime, literally and figuratively, not to credit the pianist for this beautiful performance.

This piece is more beautiful than hot chicks

Happy Birthday tomorrow, Herr Mozart. You are more popular today than when you were alive.Also more revered.

14:15 and for the next 1 minute mozart's sorrow agony for his mother's death at its peak

i think that dislikes could be among other things, that this isnt the most expressive version of this sonata. :/ love mozart

The performer is Mitsuko Uchida.

If you go to mozart-archiv.de, and then go to "SYSTEM GRUPPE -1-" for .wma or "SYSTEM GRUPPE -5-" for .mp3 and find the music you want, you should be able to listen to it in your browser with the QuickTime plugin, or you could right-click and choose "save target/link as..." to download.

Mozart played moonlight sonata's 3rd movement before it was cool.

Mozart wrote this shortly after his mother's death. The agony is so apparent is this heart-wrenching passage of the 2nd movement 14:40

Super Wolferl !!! I ❤️ you !!!

Mozart's best work is in minor.

gets better and better as it delves deeper: a fantastic piece of music whose technical composition is brilliance itself; but it is far more than that, a baring of heart and soul, with such a reflective tone, entwined with surges of unleashed emotion, a fury of spirit, expressed through sublime melody, elegance of cadence, superb ascending, assaulting chords.

It isn't played in a minor, cause stupid youtube copyright :(

Mozart really loved his mother.

Amazing. My spirit gets lifted up. I want to play this to God when I get to heaven.

the most beautiful sonata among all other sonata of Mozart which is very unique cause is composed in minor and cause it is passionate.

c'mon guys - people's brains who don't like Mozart are wired differently than ours - poor devils though...ha

Happy 258`th birthday , Immortal one !

Maybe the best interpretation of this sonata in youtube, good style with great taste... but who is the pianist?

Mozart wrote this sonata for his mother who passed away the time he wrote it. I think you can hear his feelings the best in the second movement. Here's a letter he wrote about the death of his mother: Allerbester Freund! Für Sie ganz allein. Trauern Sie mit mir, mein Freund! Dies war der traurigste Tag in meinem Leben, dies schreibe ich um zwei Uhr nachts. Ich muß es Ihnen doch sagen: meine Mutter, meine liebe Mutter ist nicht mehr! Gott hat sie zu sich berufen; er wollte sie haben, das sahe ich klar, mithin habe ich mich in Willen Gottes gegeben. Er hatte sie mir gegeben, er konnte sie mir auch nehmen. Stellen Sie sich nur alle meine Unruhe, Ängsten und Sorgen vor, die ich diese vierzehn Täge ausgestanden habe. Sie starb, ohne daß sie etwas von sich wußte, löschte aus wie ein Licht. Sie hat drei Täge vorhet gebeichtet, ist kommuniziert worden und hat die heilige Ölung bekommen. Die letzten drei Täge aber phantasierte sie beständig, und heut aber um fünf Uhr einundzwanzig Minuten griff sie in Zügen, verlor allsogleich darbei alle Empfindung und alle Sinne. Ich druckte ihr die Hand, redete sie an, sie sahe mich aber nicht, hörte mich nicht und empfand nichts. So lag sie bis sie verschied, nämlich in fünf Stunden, um zehn Uhr einundzwanzig Minuten abends. Es war niemand darbei als ich, ein guter Freund von uns (den mein Vater kennt), Herr Heina, und die Wächterin. Die ganze Krankheit kann ich Ihnen heute ohnmöglich schreiben; ich bin der Meinung, daß sie hat sterben müssen; Gott hat es so haben wollen. Ich bitte Sie unterdessen um nichts als um das Freundstück, daß sie meinen armen Vater ganz sachte zu dieser traurigen Nachricht bereiten. Ich habe ihm mit der nämlichen Post geschrieben, aber nur, daß sie schwer krank ist, warte dann nur auf eine Antwort, damit ich mich darnach richten kann. Gott gebe ihm Stärke und Mut! Mein Freund! ich bin nicht itzt, sondern schon lange her getröstet. Ich habe aus besonderer Gnade Gottes alles mit Standhaftigkeit und Gelassenheit übertragen. Wie es so gefährlich wurde, so bat ich Gott nur um zwei Dinge, nämlich um eine glückliche Sterbstunde für meine Mutter und dann für mich um Stärke und Mut, und der gütige Gott hat mich erhört und mir die zwei Gnaden im größten Maße verliehen. Ich bitte Sie also, bester Freund, erhalten Sie mir meinen Vater, sprechen Sie ihm Mut zu, daß er es sich nicht gar zu schwer und hart nimmt, wenn er das Ärgste erst hören wird. Meine Schwester empfehle ich Ihnen auch von ganzem Herzen. Gehen Sie doch gleich hinaus zu ihnen, ich bitte Sie, sagen Sie ihnen noch nichts, daß sie tot ist, sondern präparieren Sie sie nur so dazu. Tun Sie, was Sie wollen, wenden Sie alles an, machen Sie nur, daß ich ruhig sein kann und daß ich nicht etwa ein anderes Unglück noch zu erwarten habe. Erhalten Sie mir meinen lieben Vater und meine liebe Schwester! Geben Sie mir gleich Antwort, ich bitte Sie. Adieu, ich bin Dero gehorsamster, dankbarster Diener Wolfgang Amadé Mozart.

3:03 to 3:39 is really intense to play ngl

sometimes i wonder how it would sound if you could hear mozart himself playing piano. Maybe nobody can sound like him as nobody can sound like Jimi Hendrix for example. :-o

If you want the correct pitch then you'll have to buy the CD! It is of the complete set of Mozart sonatas played by Mitsuko Uchida

he didn't die homeless but yes, he died ill but , again , no , not because nobody liked his music but because he didn't know how to spend his money correctly . his operas always were a great success for example.

El último movimiento está interpretado a tiempo y ritmo de loca carrera de caballos...

I can only imagine Mozart playing this piece in front of a king!

I'm adicted to the first 6 or 7 minutes.

I have no idea who this is, but it is played with sensitivity, style and taste.

It's pitched an half tone higher, not in A minor

All of Am4d3us M0z4rt's videos are raised a bit to avoid copyrights.

Poor mozar Rip mozart and his loved mother💔💔

Am I the only person who noticed that this version's soundtrack is defininetly not in a minor XD The first note (quarter) you hear is an F XD This version is shifted a half tone higher

슬픈곡이고 어럽지만 곡의 깊이가 너무깊고 모짜르트 피아노 소나타중 가장 좋은것 같습니다.

One of the most beautiful of Wolfgang works portraying his self struggle against the odds and mediocrity in life other ex are his 20 piano conc and 40 symph.

Wasn't this written for his mothers death?

gottta learn this even if it takes me more than a year >____

fools, we hear b-moll because of recording defect!

Amazing peace obvioulsy' and a very good preformance of it. But for some reason the whole peace is preformed a half step above the scale that it was written in. meaning in B flat minor for the first and third movements and g flat majoe for the second. mysterious...

Well he composed it on his way from France to Wien. He went to France to become famous and to get students but it didn´t work that´s why he went back and his mother died also in France so he has to travel with his dead mother´s body to Wien. And in this time he composed this sonata.

18:46⚠️ best moment

원본을 살려내 자기만의 색깔로 칠 수 있으면, 진정 피아노 고수.

37 dislikes on this piece?! Why can't these people get the idea on how emotional this piano sonata is?

Good song love the first movement! Sounds like it may have been played on a bright piano....

Beginning muscian trying to learn/read sheet music. You have to start somewhere. Looking to pick up an instrument. Guhhhhh, is this really based on octal and not decimal? I like 8's, left brained math. Binary, Octal, Decimal. Hexadecimal.... I get the math. Octal is by far the most difficult, for me. . Reading sheet music is challenge. Udnerstanding,, is a a whole different "sheet of music"., So love Mozart. Listening now, with the sheet music. I'm confused :0 As I should be.

All idiots it's A minor at first , but it changed key to Bb minor and then change back to A minor Kinda good I like u. XD

beautiful

18:46

This isn't played in A

I know nothing about piano, all I know is that its sound brings me great joy.

Beautiful song !!👍👍💕💖 Good job Mozart 😂😅

It would b nice if the score turned with the music. :(

¡Espectacular!

Adoro Mozart! Muito muito! 💕

Continua a ser lindo a musica de muzat lindo,? Xau beijos

what a beautiful entry

Belíssimo!!!

I want to meet those 38 dislikers.

damn , who is playing ? realy nice rendition !

The 2nd movement had my tears, though this is not the correct pitch, it’s still one of the best sonatas

it's really rare for Mozart to use a minor key, is this preformed by the claverchord?

some idiots think this music stands for nazism, you'll find many comments about that if you go to a mozart video with alot more views.

Great Sonata

mozart wrote this right after his mother died, u can hear the passion and his love for her in the piece

누가 MP3 좀 줘여 ㅠㅠ snrk MP3 wha wnjdu bb

It must be Ushida playing!

잘하네요ㅋ

Heller's Op. 46 No. 1 sounds the same with the second theme of this sonata :3

どうせ楽譜を提示しているのであればめくってくれ！ 耳に入る音と目に見える楽譜が違うときもちわるいお。

Who is the pianist??!!

such a amazing song ;)

Why the fuck would anyone dislike this? Too controversial for its time?

Though it is not him in this recording but if one wants to hear some true aggression check out Gould's interpretation...

Stop with this shit, people are entitled to their opinions. Just because he's Mozart doesn't mean people can't dislike his music, and it doesn't mean that the people who do are musically uneducated. I know PLENTY of musically trained people who dislike Mozart's music. From the Classical era I prefer Hummel, and John Field over Mozart.

i feel sad when i listen it

this is a half step to high, isn;t it? i tried to play along the second movement but its a complete differnt key than it is on the sheet

6:23 that scaling and then back...

The best ever. But why is whitten above that the person who posted it, didn't know the artist?

Who is playing??

a little sad, depend on you but the mood in 1st mov, imp, is mostly raging in middle section, 2nd is calm but there are intense moment like at around 14:40, it almost like heart wrenching, you can feel the emotional pain in that little section (at least i do) and 3rd is just confusing, almost out of order and bizarre, and it sounds so...quick? like it keeps changing so fast, you can barely keep up and it also ends abruptly, almost like it's implying his mother died too quickly and suddenly

Yes it can, people are different. I can show you A LOT of masterpieces that would most probably bore you to death(I'm assuming you're not musically educated). You can dislike whatever the hell you want, because in the end it's all subjective. However. you can still appreciate and value something even if you dislike it.

Because it's lightweight and frankly a bit boring (that's not to say I'm taking anything away from its genius). Give me a Mahler symphony any time.

Music for the Global Economic Reset or when Obamacare declares Marshall Law.

Great

Mozart's mother had just died when he wrote this piece. No wonder it sounds sad.

yep, true, i used to like all piece a semi tone higher too 'cause it sounds brighter and more playful, but for some reason now i like it a semi tone lower best... simply personal taste

So amazing

why the fuck not ? Mozart's music's so mainstream...but i can't stop listening to it.

beautiful music!! :D i wish i can play like this but i can only play easier sonatinas with three movements

probably best a semitone lower as that is how it is supposed to sound in period instrument, the kind Mozart played on in his time

❤❤❤

I can only imagine the front part sounds like he's riding on the horse, and he's rushing to somewhere.... :)

right hand is way too loud, still great performance
