[TiagoHikaru]

The best Mozart's piano movment ever!

After you listen to modern interpretations and then listen to this, it almost sounds as if the music is crying; you clearly feel the difference. Definitely better.

[VernonVince]

Thank you very much Elias12186 for posting such a wonderful interpretation of this great piece of music!!!!!

[fugitimative]

catchy title

[sigimaster14]

im not ashamed to say i cried when i first heard this

[jordanpinnock]

this is so sik

[kwesicello]

This is my favourite recording. So sensitive and I love the way he plays in the tuttis too! Simply beautiful.

[robbbmm]

Great version! Really well done :)

/off to itunes

[corwinofamber8]

Best movement  in the concerto and this is probably the best sounding performance I've heard before.

[V00Rozen]

Really beautiful, the strings add a touch of dramatism I haven't really found on other works of Mozart :)

[AscanioInAlba1]

Although I am agreat admirer of Malcolm Bilson, for me the Melvyn Tan/Norrington rendition of this movement (and indeed whole concerto) is superior.

[iamamannow]

Fucking good where do i find the sheet music for this?

[MusicalAngel022631]

Please do not sully this beautiful work with your vulgar language.

[foreverremain]

Please do not sully this beautiful work by being a douche. If you're honestly bothered by 7 letters on a computer screen that weren't even directed at you, you're probably a cunt. It's safe to say Mozart would agree.

[composer333]

Mozart loved vulgar things---

[someoneiforgot123]

@foreverremain hahahahahahahah!!

[DecayedForest]

@foreverremain

Whilst I agree, you cannot, with any measurable confidence, proceed to the notion that Mozart would. 1)he's been dead since 1791 2)he was of a different culture and 3) you're not Mozart. :)

It's not safe to say, at all.

[CloudySunrise]

@DecayedForest True, but the message is still valid. There is no need to make a comment on a video like this if you're bothered by the word.

[composer333]

See the comment that I added to the comment below yours:

[jcesarf]

I love this, and much more when Alexander Mcqueen used it

[fitnessmaniac5]

ahhh...very true ;)

[elias12186]

You'll have to fill me in.

[rkwittem]

Old school pianos always sound great

[elias12186]

Much nicer than modern ones no?

[rkwittem]

yes most definitely. But I think it depends on what you're playing. Anything before Beethoven HAS to be on one of these beauties. Anything from Liszt or beyond is same-old, same-old on any modern piano

[ThatRachGirl]

Indeed. Sounds a bit...rustic, more organic.

Many thanks for uploading. :)

[wanzenettl]

This is most likely a reproduction of the 1780's Walter fortepiano that belonged to Mozart. And yes, I much prefer to hear these works performed on authentic instruments.

[composer333]

Those are ALL "old school" instruments, not just the piano.

[jnamadeus]

@rkwittem

You mean "old school" (i.e. period) pianos, or old "school pianos" (i.e. pianos used at schools)? :)

[rkwittem]

@jnamadeus I assume you're joking. in case you're not, I mean period instrument pianos.

[jnamadeus]

@rkwittem

Joking and not... :) Some people confuse the sound of the period fortepiano sometimes with old (but modern) upright pianos often found at schools. They say that it sounds like the piano at their school! :)

[wanzenettl]

This has to be my favorite movement of any of Mozart's piano concerti. It's simply gorgeous.

[bvcorler]

I agree wholeheartedly. When I heard this movement for the first time I was blown away ...

[corwinofamber8]

I also agree. Amazinnggggg movement

[KarlAmade]

It fits so well with that picture, I've always seen this piece like that...

The piano sounds like a bird (06:19->) singing in solitude... an evening or a night.... fading away...

like my childhood.... hm?

[elias12186]

I wonder why this comment got -2?

[KarlAmade]

Well, I mean that the thumb thing is stupid, why can't people just tell me what's wrong with my comment... but NO they hide behind the woman's skirt, well.. the thumb....

[elias12186]

Agreed :)

[xxxFennaxxx]

Very well-done! it's excellent!
