Thanks, very glad that you enjoyed this! Anna has a pretty incredible memory. She also has memorized a Haydn sonata, Chopin etude, and is learning a Beethoven sonata!
Anna, that was superb. Fantastic all three movements. It is evident that you have both worked hard to get that all together for one sitting. Great work. And I just love your little conducting preludes to your segments. Terrific andf so original. LOvely.
Thanks! It is difficult to do a full concerto. You understand like us that with only a one hour lesson, it's impossible to study an entire concerto in high level of detail. It takes 30 minutes to play it, leaving only 30 minutes left for the lesson! Most of their work together was on the first movement, and Anna learned the other two movements on her own.
One can only be very admirative when listening to Anna's performance. She is doing a tremendous job, technicaly and musicaly. She really gives life to that Finale and one must not forget that this Concerto in A Major is the most beautifull ever composed by Mozart and we have all heard some great pianist perform this work. I only regret the"second piano" and I am longing to see and hear Anna play this Concerto with an orchestra!
Thanks for your thoughtful comments and listening! I hope some day Anna will be able to play with an orchestra too. To be fair, this was only the third time they ever played the piece together. Also, I should have invited a professional teacher/coach to listen to them together for some coaching. It didn't occur to me. We all learned something from this!
Really great playing, Anna! I know I shouldn't laugh, but it was so funny to watch the uncooperative sheet music misbehaving for your accompanist. It seemed to have a ghostly presence and a mind of its own. Fortunately, it didn't bother you at all, and your accompanist handled it. It was a fine way to finish off Mozart. 5 BIG stars and two thumbs way up!
Hmmm... Maybe there was a ghostly feline presence behind the sheet music. I know that's ahppened to you (MaryRuth72) before, and it makes a great show.
Thanks! Anna had to prepare and work hard to deliver all three in a single sitting. This is also the first time she's ever done anything like this before, so a learning experience on playing together, listening, balance, etc etc.
well i give up.

I like how the poor girl memorized the whole work and her teacher struggles keeping the stupid book open.

Yes, it was a lot of work to be prepared for all three movements. I'm glad you liked the conducting! It was just good fun.

Wow, great job Anna! Charlie only get one movement done (another concerto) while you already got a full one! Great performance and great learning!

Thanks! The Schirmer editions don't stay open very well. I know Schirmer is a heresy among the professionals, but it's priced for people on a budget!
