Mozart Sonata KV 332 F major, 3rd movement: Allegro assai -- Pawel Markowicz

[SRLemeraldgreen]

Very nice! I played when I was 11 in front of my school. And the part at 1:50 I played a bit faster. But still pretty good. 

[TheSuperonion]

I played this when I was 12

[Amadi1]

check my recording of this piece out~!!

i just put it yesterday...

you sound good yo... keep at it. More Mozart!

[Chameusepianist]

it´s not Mozart... you miss the wonderful melodies...

[sk8lovepeace]

OMG ur sooooo good...this is my jury piece for this semester and u inspired me to play like u..i listened to uchida's version and right after i listened to you and i was like ...this kid has got it like a legit pro

[crissrodpiano]

muy bien yo en este momento estoy tocando eso me encantaria un consejo

[SuryaDevi33]

amazing! great job :) i wish i could play like you!

[winterwonderlaaand]

heeey how old are u ? this is wonderful !

[nerdface92]

good job dude :) im working on this movement...you play it so fast!!! i dont know if i'll ever play it so fast....

[renjisXmineXbackXoff]

it was good, I'll try not to repeat what people have said already but I agree with a lot of them about rushing and the weight of your playing. beethoven's right up your street though

[valeerioo45]

that is moxart!!

Im learning it..it is a wonderful sonate

I love it

[vocaldudejingjie]

great playing but it is a little bti too heavy sounding... maybe it should be lighter

[andou7]

Are you playing beethoven???

You are destroying the entire phrase of this piece

[ilnvita]

good playing. try to think bigger phrases, not every beat.

[Raffzeee]

I am well doing this fro grade 8. It's fit beond belief.

[MUSICLOVERGAL18]

i'm learning this for my grade 8.

just perfecting it atm for my exam next term... :)

[Superhappyperson4445]

wtf? im dizzy....

[hehawmankel]

too fast, not historically informed, midi file, wrong ornamentation, no subito piano at all, wrong sf effect, good phrasing and shape in the slower sections(c min and f min) but lacking in fast sections, sharp tone, fluctuating tempo, grotesque key-bedding, READ THE SCORE!!! . . . uhm, left hand rather brilliant in most parts. . . too loud in general. . . could be much better but i suppose if thats what you're gonna label urself with then that's your dilemma:)

[pistachio1987]

painfully fast, felt very rushed if i'm honest. try and slow down as you are missing some of the most beautiful parts of this movement... just advice and thoughts. you obviously have good technique but give the piece feeling.

'allegro assai' means after all, 'QUITE fast'. keep up the good work

[220392123]

Allegro assai means VERY FAST actually.

[VonDutchmn]

allegro assai means very fast...

lol, but yes, the subtlties are lost in this performance because of the rushed feeling. Stil brilliant - its an achievement to play this at all. Try to make it lighter. Crisper. :D

[VonDutchmn]

subtleties* sorry

[krn4eva1]

wow.

[DoUbLeUtEeEeFfFfF]

you on crak?~ why are you movin like a spaz

[PopularAnimeGirl]

It means that he feels the emotion of this piece. People who don't move means that they don't know how to apreciate the music or could not intrepretate the emotions. But I suggest that you relax your shoulders a bit more. It will give you a more even and relaxed tone. ^-^

[hehawmankel]

"means they don't know how to apreciate the music or could not intrepretate the emotions"????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAH you sad sad person . . . if you sit absolutely upright with shoulders and scapulas locked in position WITHOUT moving back and forwards, THEN you get the most amazing sound this side of the galaxy, i can assure you

[PopularAnimeGirl]

Whups! Sorry, didn't mean it that way. xD -typed that at 2 am in the morning- Anyways, moving is just a way to feel the emotion of the piece for most people. ^-^

[Amadi1]

@hehawmankel check mine out!!.. you'lll probably think it's too fast though... just a heads up! I just uploaded it yesterday.

[herbatadom]

If you have heard of Rachmaninov then you would know that he used to never move an inch when performing, yet had such emotion in his playing.

[annachan1]

its great that he moves! so much emotions!

[ken35768768]

It is excellent

[mrskye08]

it's not perfect. i'm not sure if he's using the piece that i used but i've heard several differences from my piece. i think aldebussy is right, be a little careful with the dynamics and articulations. ^^ don't worry i myself cannot do them perfectly hihihi

[jesssicasy]

perfect

[valeerioo45]

Wooww..I havent started to learn it yet but i think it will be hard, wont it?

[hehawmankel]

no it's not hard at all. . . just practice it for a week or two as though it were a slow movment and treat every note in the left and right hands as melodies then you will be fine:)

[Csibon13]

Bravo!

[valeerioo45]

oh this is 3rd !! it is really good..

[GuitarHeroPownage]

Played beautifly

I am learning this song too

[sthaer]

Am I going nuts or do I recognise in the beginning of this movement, in the left hand, the theme of the 4th movement of Beethoven's 3d Sonata?

[aldebussy]

You might want to play Mozart's with a little more care and attention to dynamic markings, articulations, etc.

[alestefi7]

wow se escucha muy bien..... yo apenas saque el 1er movimiento de esta sonata, la sentia dificil de tocar, pero esto se escucha mucho más por todas las escalas que hace :(

[oscviolin]

De puta madre, gran precision, virtuosismo, control del fraseo y de las articulaciones, buen fp, tocas muy bien, te felicito, muy cantabile, muy bien de verdad

[Thunderstar91]

I wish i could play that fast, i can sort of play this piece but not at that pace, i hope i dont have to be that pace in the exam!

[missveryenthu]

wow. i'm really amazed. i knew it was allegro--fast.. but i didn't think it would be THAT FAST. it's scary! but really good.

APPLAUSE. i just i'll have to work very hard to get to this standard.

[derarmeheinrich12]

Sehr gut interpretiert! An diesem Stück kann man sich kaputt üben; hatte selbst einmal das "Vergnügen".

Bravo!

[sk8tergirlcl167]

dude..u freak me out

nice tho.

work on posture

hav the sheet?

[orleomarty]

super gespielt :D ... nur eins muss ich loswerden, warum tragt ihr alle in euren eigenen 4 wänden einen anzug Oo ich üb das im schlafanzug ^^

[Grace4evermusic]

this is awesome=] i would work on the posture though, my teacher would never get away with it=] lol. just my opinion~personally if it weren't for my teacher, i would start to loose my good posture too. And also the sound seems to be quite sharp, being a mozart piece, i suggest that you give off a more wellrounded forte. otherwise, this is brilliant!! Good Work!!

[protik7]

I just did my grade 7 piano (but im only 9!)and i really dont see how i could ever something like that as well as you!!!!

[LoveHeart55]

Hi orangemochafrappsrox

I am at the same situation like u.

My fingers get frozen too on stage. i play piano too..

[orangemochafrappsrox]

hi. you are soo good! your fingers seem to be dancing. i'm playing this sonata right now, all three movements; learning the third and second, and i hope to play and deliver at a sonata competition next year. the only thing is, i grow EXTREMELY cold and i end up shaking up there on stage. plus, a super fast song like this one does not help my frozen fingers. i practice a lot, but it's happened to me soo many times. how do u do it? that's talent right there ! very nice. :]]

[badertime]

decent but stiff performance. breathe more. let it sing its tempo in the middle, i think the main theme is in the right tempo but the rest seemes rushed. be more silly, its mozart

[a1s2d3f4g5tarentella]

I agree. It felt a bit stiff. In the right hand passages, play more freely and with more shape. It is important to FEEL the line in Mozart. I am currently playing this piece and while you do a fine job technically, the introspective quality especially seen in the middle section can be further explored. Fine technical command however. Bravo!

[JonasBunse]

Echt richtig gut!

Meine alte französische Klavierlehrerin hätte nur gesagt: "Rücken gerade, Brust raus und Schultern nach hinten!" ;)

[pawelmarkowicz]

Und wie Recht sie damit hätte! :D Hab zum Glück meine Haltung seitdem schon ein bisschen verbessern können. So ausschauen, als hätte ich einen Besen verschluckt, werde ich aber sicher nie - dafür bin ich wiederum viel zu quirlig! ;)

[Enriquehack]

Dios...el principio es horrible, mucho ruido, para tocar bien, primero se debe analizar la partitura, en la escala desendente, digamos que el sonido fuerte no es en todas, es solo en el primer tiempo, y tu golpeas todas las malditas teclas,Dios, esta horrible.

[LauraElRecuerdoPuro]

tampoco es algo exagerado, al haberlo tan rapido es dificil controlar la intensidad de todos los dedos, y no es tan machacon como dices, aunque si debe controlar mas.

yo lo q he notado es q al final el mi agudo se le va una nota pero lo rectifica bien

de todas esta aceptable ejecutado no perfecto pero a mi me ha gustado.

[salviharp]

Nice! But I'm not a pianist so anything that fast on the piano sounds pretty good to me! ;-)

[pawelmarkowicz]

Hey salviharp, thank you! I'm looking forward to your concert on April 13th, I think I'll be there! :)

[flamingspinach]

Great work :) Personally I think this piece should be somewhat faster but it seems nobody agrees with me... heh. Anyway that would make it much more difficult I suppose, and more "assai" than maybe is justifiable... still, I think it would sound wonderful at a brillante, maybe 118 or so :) Also, it's been a while since I played this, but there seemed to be a few wrong notes here and there, not too obvious though. At 0:54 (?) and 1:14 for example.

[pawelmarkowicz]

Wow, I checked it out at tempo 118, would be really fast indeed... did you play it that fast? :) Personally I think it would be a little too fast to hear each detail this movement has to offer. And as far as the wrong notes are concerned: 0:54 is fine... and 1:14 is correct as well, I think. ;) Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting, flamingspinach!

[flamingspinach]

I checked the score, and found the following mistakes: At 0:54, B in R.H. should be Bb; at 1:14, F# in L.H. should be F; at 1:40, G in chord should move down to F; at 2:56, Eb in R.H. should be E; at 4:07, A in L.H. should be G; at 4:22, B in R.H. should be D. I think that's all:) As for the tempo, maybe you're right :) certainly unorthodox, anyway. I think it's possible to bring out the detail with a touch of rubato and expression, though! :D

[220392123]

@flamingspinach

remember it is Mozart, every not needs to count, too fast a tempo would not be Mozart.

[flamingspinach]

@220392123 Well, Mozart didn't give a tempo marking other than "Allegro assai", just meaning "quite fast". It's up to us to interpret it. Of course, some interpretations may be loved by everyone, and some interpretations hated... :) But I don't think we can generally say "that interpretation is WRONG". For example, a lot of people play Bach with the sustain pedal, even though that didn't exist in his time. But it's still Bach!

[Qbekbear]

Zapomniałem o jednym: czy mi się wydaje czy my tu się męczymy angielskim, którego ja nie umiem, a obaj jesteśmy Polakami ? :)

[pawelmarkowicz]

Jasne! :) Co do Rubinsteina to tylko jedno: respekt, i to jaki. Ciekaw jestem, jak on by zagrał tą sonate, ale z tego co wiem to chyba jej nie nagrał. Zgadzam się z tobą, że technika grania oraz instrumenty w XVIII wieku byly dość odmienne od dzisiejszych, ale jak dążyć do tego historycznego dzwięku jeśli przede wszystkim brak historycznych instrumentów? Zostaje tylko trzymać się stylistyki klasycznej i w jej ramach interpretować w indywidualny sposób.

[Qbekbear]

I'm very sorry I didn't know the exact date of composing this sonata before. It's good for you ;) Well, I'm not good at history :/ However I think the hammerklavier from eighteenth century wasn't the same as the modern grand pianos. Furthermore, the technique was also different. They say that Rubinstein (of course he was born couple of centuries later than Mozart) had had a teacher who put him one coin on each hand and told young Artur to play the piano without dropping it :)

[Qbekbear]

Too much forte as for a piece from classicism. It should sound like a harpsichord but it doesn't. Very monotonous dynymics - still forte or fortissimo. As for a proffesional pianist it's poor.

[pawelmarkowicz]

I'm sorry this performance didn't convince you, Qbekbear. Personally I think that an energetic & dynamic interpretation of this movement is fully legitimate since this sonata was composed in 1783, when the Hammerklavier was already being used by most of the composers, including Mozart. So it's no longer the sound of a harpsichord we may aim at. I did also try to point out the contrasts between the forte- and the dolce/cantabile-parts, which - despite the poor sound quality - are still hearable.

[SimonSpieltKlavier]

i think you did a good job. don't let the critics critizise you ;) I'm studying this sonata at the moment and i really like your interpretation. go on playing as you did in this sonata

[pawelmarkowicz]

Simon, thanks for your kind words! Have fun learning this sonata & enjoy the enchanting 2nd movement. Cheers
