a great performance, by the way, a wonderful formal trick by mozart, the ending. he kind of pulls our leg, pretending in the last minute (9:27) to outragously begin the second theme of the rondo after the end, like what he did in 1:11 ff. and then beautifully rounding it up for a second ending
Playing pieces in his childhood and playing a full movement of a concerto is not quite the same thing. With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if he could, in fact, play this with his hands reversed..
I never said I am some Mr. Mozart "expert", but I am too gullible to believe every 18th century letter. Sure, he could perform blind-folded and what-not, but I strongly doubt he could perform a long concerto completely blindfolded with his hands crossed.
It's in the credits. Since I assume your talking about Amadeus the performance is Sir Neville Mariner and the Academy of St. Martins in the fields with Ivan Morevec as soloist.
It is great the way it's introduced almost as a tantalizing false second group and then aborted, only to be recalled at the very end as part of the coda. Just an example of the subtle things Mozart does to finish and balance his structures perfectly.
You may want to take a look at my piano sonatas Nr. 1,2,3, which I uploaded here on youtube. They are in classical style, I´m searching in people who may actually be interested in them.
@theoudplayer Well God is creator of everything, Lucifer was head of the ministry of music in Heaven and now lucifer inspires everyone with music ( Mozart) so how can't put anything else above God,, look back God is greater has given him the gift im just saying and YES btw im christian !!
@sbabesz1 nah, now you take it too far. I understand you believe in God and such, but believing Mozart's music is inspired by Lucifer is just plain dumb. That's the same as saying God is responsible for all the evil deeds in the world. Let's just say he created the universe etc., and then left and didn't interfere with anything since.
I still remember the scene in Amadeus where he walks down the streets of Vienna to this tune. It was either this or Piano concerto 15. Both were great moments in movie history.
The blithely finessey and birdlike hopping qualities that the pianist delivers the subject with are an absolutely delight.This performance is very interesting & whimsical.
I love how they used this in the movie Amadeus. You see Mozart sitting full of joy behind the piano, playing a piano part, and when he's done he conducts the orchestra. He was just such a musical genius.
I love fortepiano sound *_*

This is excellent. I think the 1st movement of this concerto is equally excellent. Which one do you like most: 1st movement or 3rd movement?

He wasn't wowing the European royalty and other composers by playing conventional Bach.
They thought he was a gift from God. (I tend to believe he was...)

Well Mr. Mozart "expert." Help yourself to the numerous biographies from his contemporaries at the time.
Leopold made Mozart perform blindfolded, hands crossed, upside-down and in reverse. He could play a composition after only hearing played once.
Nobody worth his credit has ever disputed this.
