Aaron Kurz: Rondo alla Turca by Mozart at Salle Cortot/ Paris

[lukefenderrhodes]

i forgot? does k stand for korchel?

[KindofReallyAwesome]

a lot of the versions i hear get really spotty and jumpy when it comes to the more complex parts, this one goes very smoothly which is very impressive :D i love it!

[tbkurz]

Thank you so much, KindofReallyAwesome! Considering there are many versions of this piece on YouTube, your compliment really means a lot. Thanks also for watching my video!

[ZakumX]

I haven't played the piano in about 3 years and I am using this as inspiration to relearn my favorite Mozard piece Rondo alla Turca haha. Great job on it.

[tbkurz]

Dear ZakumX,

Thank you so much for the great compliments. I'm glad you enjoyed my video and I hope you enjoy learning the Rondo!

Sincerely,

Aaron

Aaron

[2Paqs]

Who is the guy sneezing in the background by the way? -_-

[2Paqs]

Mate, you're unbelievably good.

[KikumaruSeal88]

After not doing so well with this piece in my piano exam and putting off playing for so long hearing you play so wonderfully has made me understand that to play a piece well it might take years and years of practice to get to the final level that is required of the piece. Thankyou for being such a inspiration.

[tbkurz]

Dear KikumaruSeal88,

I'm so glad you enjoyed my video and that it has helped you! Your compliments really mean a lot to me. I hope you succeed with the piece and I wish you luck with it!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[olddisneymovielover9]

[tbkurz]

I was 13 years old when this video was filmed. I'm glad you liked it!

Aaron

[80spopQueen]

Aaron

[yasminsubba]

You are fantastic! I'm officially in love because of how you play :)

[tbkurz]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, yasminsubba!

Aaron

[MsSharon555]

looking for what I feel was the "perfect" Alla Turca as the Maestro himself would've played it and discovered this wunderkind! Listening to this brings joy to my heart. I will bookmark this to listen to first thing every morning .a great way to start the day 

[tbkurz]

Dear Ms Sharon555,

Wow! Thank you so much for the incredible compliment! It's great to know that you (and hopefully many others) enjoy my performance of the Rondo. Thanks also for watching, and look out for a new video in the next day or so!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[jenethehottie]

Excellente! Keep in refining your craft and you'd be one of the greatest!

[tbkurz]

I appreciate the encouraging words, jenethehottie, and thank you for watching my video!

Aaron

[DarkHellagon]

The camera's a bit wobbly! there's fuzzy sounds in the background, but overall, it's pretty good

[tbkurz]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, DarkHellagon!

Aaron

[Copper9801]

My friend and I were a bit pissed at each other because the was a little better than me at this song, so I told him "I know, let's just find someone better than both of us!" and showed him this LOL

[DaKatphish]

TrkMchMo :P

[stephanlarson]

Great performance. In my view the best version on youtube.

[tbkurz]

Thank you for the great compliment, stephanlarson! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[MrTechGuy1995]

[gwen101131]

Any new vids yet aaron?

[tbkurz]

Dear gwen101131,

I should (hopefully) have a new video or two up in the next month or so. The next video will likely be one of me performing Ondine.

Aaron

[ninetailnaruto341]

My fingers hurt at the C#, E , A, C# chord at 2:58, have any correct fingering ideas?

[tbkurz]

Dear ninetailnaruto341,

My fingering for that chord was (going up) 1-2-4-5. If you're not rolling it, that would be tremendously helpful, I think. If neither of those two work, consider either dropping the bottom C# or using the fingerings (going up) 2-1-2-4 or 2-1-3-5. Hope that helps!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[ninetailnaruto341]

@tbkurz I found the rolling technique more helpful with that fingering, thanks!

[RostameJahangir]

such talent

[tbkurz]

Thanks, RostameJahangir!

Aaron

[chevychase]

Thanks, epicfail86!

Aaron

[helensunghuikim]

He was good!

Maybe you are good as my daughter.

I watched this viedio becuase my daughter also plays alla turca.

[melioped]

you did so much practice ! It is not easy to make a piano to listen to your fingers as much as it is easy(to me) to do good performance with the violin and you almost trained that piano to listen to you.

Classic just so well done Mozart's Sonata in A major

[tbkurz]

Dear melioped,

I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! All of your kind words are greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[CoolTheVideos]

Congratulations Aaron!!!

I'm working in this song too since the last year...

i would like to play like you :)

[tbkurz]

Thanks for the compliments, CoolTheVideos! Good luck learning the piece!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[pestilpen]

When God is in public, He praises Bach. But then He rushes into his room, turns on his player to listen to Mozart.

[eeshankabir]

aarong i'm 21 and i just started to learn piano 1 year ago. i am so amazed at your playing, i can't believe you can play so well at this age. a great inspiration for me. you must have become much better by now. can't wait to watch your new performances. wish you all the best :)

@EstebanMCastro This song isn't actually that hard to play on piano. Still, he did a great job with it. Lots of dynamic contrast with few missed notes.

HI MR ORRINGE!!!!!!!

[MyJoaopedro123]

Das ist sehr Schön!

[ThePedroton]

Hallo, Ich heiße John Peter, Ich spiele auch klavier.

[tbkurz]

Dear MegaAdventurers,

I'm glad you enjoyed my video! This piece was (I believe) in one of the Suzuki books and I did learn the Suzuki method for a while, but I did not learn this piece, nor have I learned anything in the past six years or so, using the Suzuki method. I started playing when I was 3 years old. Thank you for watching my video!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[MyJoaopedro123]

Ach, Ich liebe Mozart, Ich spiele auch Klavier. Du spielst sehr gut Klavier.

[MyJoaopedro123]

Du spielst sehr gut Klavier, Ich spiele auch Klavier. Ich liebe Mozart

Aaron

[w00zar]

[DavidGlennErazo]

[chefphony]

This kid is seriously talented, I've heard many adults that didn't play this piece as well as Aaron. BRAVO!

[tbkurz]

Dear chefphony,

I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! Thanks also for watching!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[mrmystmrmyst]

Magical, excellent rendition, BRAVO!

[IreneTheCardcaptorSP]

This kid made me want to beat him at playing this piece!! His hands are smaller than me and he plays the parts AWESOMELY!!! GOOD JOB BOY!! I'm gonna do my best and become better!! So you keep being awesome! ;)

[Plummlets]

Why did 25 people dislike this? Because they're not as good as him?

[tbkurz]

Thanks for your compliment, Plummlets!

Aaron

[4Teddybears]

@Plummlets No, probably because they're slightly better (actualy probably not they probably can't play a thing)

(I didn't dislike it BTW)

I shall give it a thumbs up =)

[eurypilos]

@Plummlets

Bonjour,

Je vois surtout les 930 personnes qui aiment.C est ça le plus important.Bravo Aaron!

Esté

[hawkfan1852]

@Plummlets This kid is unbelievable. I hate when people try to tell me what pieces to play, but you should upload some beethoven pieces. You have an incredible feel for the instrument at a very young age sir, don't ever give it up.

[tbkurz]

Dear hawkfan1852,

I really appreciate your comments. Regarding your suggestion about Beethoven pieces, I am not currently working on any because I have a full slate of repertoire for some very important upcoming competitions. Should I get in to a certain competition I will have to learn Beethoven's 32 Variations and I would post that on my channel after the competition. Thank you for watching my video and for your supportive words!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@Plummlets no because idiots like you post the same comment over and over waiting to get on the highest rated

[Plummlets]

@CrazyForCooCooPuffs, that was unnecessary. I'm not an idiot, and this is hardly the video to start arguing on.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@Plummlets no u

[Plummlets]

@CrazyForCooCooPuffs, sure.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@Plummlets NO U

[waterzoip]

magnifique!

[EduDeAguiarTV]

Quando o vídeo começou, achei que o moleque, pela idade dele, iria fazer uma m de apresentação.... Nooooooooooossa... nunca estive tãããão errado!

[multiawardednerd]

You're so cool! Wish I could be as good as you!

[tbkurz]

Thank you so much, multiawardednerd!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[mohamedappas]

[tbkurz]

Dear mohamedappas,

Thank you so much for your compliments and for watching my videos!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[brianh190]

This is actually one of the best rondo alla turca videos i have seen on youtube. It's amazing how young you are. Considering you are already extremely good, if you keep playing and improving I am sure you will end up being one of the best pianists alive, if not the best when you are an adult.

[abciximab31]

@brianh190 agreed!! one of the best rondo alla turca vids on youtube!!!
