Mozart, of course

Piano Concerto 25,000. Boy that Mozart sure was prolific.

tapa tapa tapa.... trilolololo!!! had me rolling! loved your commentary on a beautiful performance.

Mozart man, this is so great. That music is so fresh and beautifull. Mozart for eternity. Beethoven concerto 5 is something too...

why’d you “take the piss” out of classical music, I don’t understand

73 * 365 * 40h = 1 065 800h of practice... crazy 🤯

1:32 briefly sounds like a synth or a midi from a video game soundtrack, insanely consistent intonation

@@Stu5727 What does this mean? How can piano players have a "voice" or a different sound? how do they influence the sound of the instrument?

@@ElMage11 the force when they strike the key, how they strike the key, how you release the key, basically everything can affect the tone, though not much so you usually don't think about it which is why it is so crazy how consistant her tone is lol

@@ElMage11 it’s like failing to press your cords on bass drawing it with inconsistent strengths so much can influence the tone

Wait thats a she?

I would say that is because most of pianists become teachers (proffessors), and dedicate their lives to teaching, especially after 35/40 years old

This is very common in classical music, pianists specially keep playing until they're dead or almost. With various qualities of playing but some of them stay amazing until the end.

She's actually only 19 years old. It's because she practices 40 hours a day, so the age number goes faster.

Thank you, Jamie. It is her life shining through, how she plays this.

Look up Martha Argerich, still magnificent at 82 or Maria Joao Pires, 79

You almost have to stop breathing for that kind of control. I found myself holding my breath for her at certain places in the music. Brilliant. She's brilliant.

She has a good piano probably in the $1M class.. Not some old crappy school piano with hard to push keys..

@@HogbergPhotography I mean if you don't have that equipment you can never have a sound as clean as her, but the sounds she manages to bring from her piano is heavenly.

Work very slowly you'll be surprise how easy it helps the body memorise the dynamic changes

as a pianist switching up dynamics is incredibly easy what r u talking about

@@sephyy.c5360 Actually what he said is right. At the beginning yeah it's easier but later it's much harder due to how scores written and the piano structure. I'd say at the end it's harder than strings and woodwinds for dynamic control (I feel that when playing piano n saxophone

@@superbowyiming as someone who has played piano for upwards of 15 years yes her feel for the music and her transitions are very impressive but changing fluidly between dynamics is not hard if you have any basic talent lmao

Shes practices 40 hours a day, ofc she does that easily

REALLY ? UAUAUA !!! AND YOU ARE A GENIUS MAYVBE !

@drz-krak she composed all that,its her cadenza

@drz-krak How silly. The most captivating aspects of a presentation are the feeling, dynamics, pauses and other aspects that no robot can imitate, as it is unique to each interpreter.

@drz-krak youre right lol, this is all right Though we knew that innately. Nothing can take away from her exquisite cadenza based on - wait - MOZART THEMES? Mozart was brilliant and also original, but Mozart and Co was also a personal expression of Haydn. About 80% of the time. So let Uchida’s cadenza be an expression of that musical period. At least that’s my theory. “Arthur, not everyone’s bland. You’re bland, Murray”. I think whenever someone forms a cadenza, it’s by nature not 100% “original”, but the brilliancy, ingenuity, and quality is just totally distinct from all that preceded it. Like I said, yes it doesn’t count as “original”, but it does count as original. What she contrived here stems from Mozart’s themes yes, but we can at least respect how far she went to separate from that. The real nail in the hammer, though, is that Mozart was much himself a cog in a capital ‘c’ Classical machine. Her fanciful modulations reflect much more awesome music than merely a representation of an artist. I dare say, even more than merely a representation of that whole period. She engineers here a lovelily diverse domain of musical permutations. I said lovelily on purpose, and meant something more like ‘amiably’; adverb to, let’s say, rhetorically intensify the titillation of the tonal tensions? Perhaps we’ll excuse my long-winded, multi-pillared theory in the end. It’s definitely an open-ended subject. I ultimately return my case back to the care of your very enlightening and very neutral thoughts. + We don needa be robotic and robust about Mozart and Bach. Beethoven? Okay, maybe we’ll leave his works perfectly alone. But that’s the thing, because he liked cadenzas, he was on board with the idea, and supplied his own. Bach intended ornaments, and Mozart cadenzas. Impressionist stylists maybe not so much - MAYBE.

Yes

What does your being a violinist have to do with anything?

@@organboi brings some musical knowledge onto the table

​@@organboi Violinists have a much more direct control over their dynamics, as they have a direct connection to the sound producing part of their instrument, whereas pianists connect indirectly through hammers. Control of dynamics is therefore easier on a violin. In other words, if a violinist is impressed with a pianist's control of dynamics, than that pianist's control is implied to be extraordinarily good

@@venturamolina5514 It. Is. A. JOKE.

@@venturamolina5514 he’s not a real ling ling

What happened to the other 2?

@@da96103 She didn't play them for some reason, couldn't tell you why. The ones she didn't play were op.90 no2 and no3 (from the first set of four chronologically). I suppose it made the program short enough to not require an interlude, and since you often play the two she left out as a pair, it made sense to cut them? A real shame, as I was learning those two specifically at the time and I would have liked to see a live interpretation of them.

Question! At 1:38 bar 51, the right-hand notes were F#-A-D-F#-D-A-F# but she played both Ds with a C and C# respectively. Was it a piano score transcription mistake, or she actually played the wrong note? (though I'd doubt the latter) Because I have to say, if she actually changed the notes, I'd be impressed, since it sounded so good! I can feel the tension in the arpeggio!

@@ok45038 Do you play any musical instruments yourself?

@@theangrycheeto I do, I've played the piano (classically trained) for about 7 years now, and I dabble in other instruments - particularly guitar. Piano is my primary instrument though.

Mozart is dauntingly virtuosic; one wrong note and everyone notices it, unlike Rachmaninoff or Liszt.

​@@Samuri_Jack_Enjoyer You can notice the wrong note better, because it's kept more simple... Mozart's music is incredible, however Liszt and Rachmaninoff are beyond virtuosic, and it's not how difficult it is to notice a wrong note, it's about the difficulty of the piece itself. The listeners don't matter.

@@Samuri_Jack_Enjoyer "one wrong note and everyone notices it" True - but that's especially true for the simplest music - not the most virtuosic!

@@adrianwright8685 maybe virtuosic is the wrong word, but making "simple" music entertaining requires a high level of musical creativity. With liszt or rach, pianists tend to get sloppy or lazy; if they just bang the chords out it'll be good enough. Mozart does not let you get away with that. So although his music may not require physical virtuosity, you DO need a high level of psychological virtuosity; not only to give this theoretically simple music depth and complexity but to also do that while knowing "one wrong note and everyone notices it."

@@chocoflake8027 what i meant by "everyone notices it" is that it ruins the price, ruins the magic. With "bigger" works that are more dramatic and expressive sometimes playing wrong notes is encouraged, usually at a climax, to ADD to the musical character of the piece. These climaxes are usually very difficult and so pianists will think "oh it doesn't have to be perfect because playing wrong notes adds character". In Mozart, playing wrong notes will only detract from the music. That is why it's so difficult, there are no excuses.

Thank you for saving me that trip to Wikipedia…

We can hear again these same notes with the same rythm pattern in the first act of Don Giovanni, strikingly enough when Leoporello is referring to France ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mkjzTtz-lZQ.html I used to think there was some kind of influence or even sincronicity between Mozart and Rouget de Lisle, but now my theory is that it's just a coincidence. During the classical period there were rules about how to iniciate a melody, how to please the public, what chords were appropiate for the first bars, etc. and the combination dominant->tonic was extremely popular for the first two notes of a phrase. Once you reach the tonic, if you want to keep ascending your options are scale (V-I-II-III-IV-V), arpeggio (V-I-III-V) or, if you want to make something more original but within the tastes of that period, the brand new combination V-I-II-V, which is what both composers chose to do in different places and different years but in the same art period. *Notice that the melody V-I-IV-V doesn't sound well, V-I-VII-V is horrible and V-I-VI-V was destined to make history two centuries later in Texas ;D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8sKX3tWaOew.html

Hanon Virtuoso Pianist exercises for about an hour a day, will help. A good instructor who knows how to teach these exercises in invaluable! (I had one.) Wrist fluidity is very important and one of the focuses of this pedagogy.

@@kempedkemp This is a year ago but I got to say this is wrong. A good teacher worth their salt will only use Hanon sparingly and for specific reasons.

The best way to keep your wrists relaxed is to figure out what causes your wrists to be tense. Often, it's not deficiency in the base techniques (e.g. scales, arpeggios, etc.) that is the cause but uncertainty due to lack of memorisation or not having practised a troublesome passage enough. Also, whenever you're practising your base techniques, consciously note your commitment to relaxation in all parts of your body (including and especially, your wrists).

Yes this is played too fast according to the notes? Well music tradition is something to cherish. I'm highly impressed.

Time is subjective. She experiences time differently than us-that’s all.

Just the opposite.....It is because she does SLOW PRACTICE. very important.... she practice so slowly that time come still, that is why she can practice 40 hours each day, 10 days each week, and 7 weeks each month, and 24 months per year......(Musicians, and budding musicians all know what SLOW PRACTICE means).
