Mozart Rondo in a minor k.511 Ning An, piano

[raisins1]

It's great to watch someone perform with passion, and you do. :_)

[hudduk77]

One of the hardest pieces by Mozart superbly performed! Bravo!!!

[MrDantitch]

I think you're right actually, mozartean rubato has the time kept usually by a rock steady left hand playing in time, and the right hand rubato around this framework evoking cantabile style. :)

Excellent :)

[RichardPryor3108]

Very very well played!

[bubbles02010]

wah! he plays it so nicely!

lol his face expressions kinda make me laugh...sry ...

[vonspre]

This is Mozart??!!! Nooooooooo....This is just a bad "cover"....Rubato, legato !!! For god's sake!!

[schmetterlink]

@vonspre Try playing this more mechanically and the result is not just mediocre, but impossible. It's no wonder that any other recording you'll hear (Schnabel's, Landowska's, Ashkenazy's) involves at least as much rubato and legato. You seem to have this mistaken notion that one mode of interpretation ought to work for every work by a certain composer; you cannot run roughshod over every Koechel number with your own crude notion of Mozartishness. Every piece is a self-contained world.

@schmetterlink

"every piece is a self-contained world". Breaking News!! LOL

Please, do not insult me, ok?: )

try this:

PAUL BADURA-SKODA -SONATES POUR LE PIANOFORTE ( fortepiano Johann Schantz, Vienne ca.1790, collection de l'artiste) -2001 NAÏVE.

@vonspre Yes it's Mozart, but it's a rondo, and a gentle rondo at that. It's supposed to have legato and rubato. Otherwise it just sounds terrible.

@Slebebebe

You are a bore , you know?

[daytonmlivingston]

Sounds very Romantic styled. Extremely Frederic Chopin sounding also. Mozart really was the first Romantic composer.

[3screamingkids]

such feminine hand gestures.

[sshuck]

If by "feminine" you mean "beautiful" I agree. (Which of course you didn't.)

[shortjess87]

he was a professor of mine at Lee University! He's brilliant! (unless this video is labeled wrong... or its a different Ning An.)

[UriahHeepful]

You mean you don't recognise him?!

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Israel! I'd LOVE to go there someday! :D

I love your interpretation- it is superb. Excellent job! (No- seriously- I'm jealous of your version. It's soooo good!)

[manofuker]

MTo BOM : )

VERY good
