Donc gare aux apprentis sorciers qui pensent qu'en jouant plus vite on joue mieux. Cela dépend du morceau et de son « esprit », bien sûr. C'est la musicalité qui compte et voir si on est capable de tenir le tempo et faire les nuances qui s'imposent. Trop de virtuosisme tue la musique et même la virtuosité qui doit être naturelle, comme tout en musique. Mais une trop grande lenteur peut aussi faire « tomber » la pièce. Trouver donc le tempo juste et… « sentir » la musique avant tout.
Il faut souligner que généralement Mozart se plaignait des interprétations trop rapides et sans "âme" de ses pièces (même ouvrage pp. 42-43 :
"... avant le dîner, il (l'abbé Vogler) massacra mon concerto, celui qui joue la fille de la maison et que j'ai écrit pour la comtesse Lützow. Il prit le premier mouvement prestissimo, l'Andante allegro et le Rondo encore plus prestissimo. [...] On ne peut rien faire de bon à pareille vitesse."
Sonata- Rondo 0:01 Exposition: Theme A, D Major 0:32 Theme B, A Major 1:03 transition and modulation back to D Major 1:12 Development: Theme A, D Major 1:39 Theme B, B minor (relative minor of D major - share a key signature) 1:56 transition and modulation back to D major 2:06 Recapitulation: Theme A, D Major 2:44 Theme B, final statement, this time in tonic D Major 3:16 transition and false modulation (builds tension, pretends to modulate) 3:45 Coda 3:31 Theme A final statement in D Major
Superb as one would expect from the Mozartian par excellence. Compare with Toscanini's (on this site). Boehm's runs 4:24, T.'s 3:37. T.'s is technically fine but lacks subtlety throughout. One understands how T. could be so obtuse as to say of Mozart::
I can understand why he said it. Beauty comes in one form, and that's Mozart's music. It's never uglier or more beautiful, because it can't be. Therefore, never different in that respect.
It's a shame though. I think the cameraman is pretty darn thick. Whenever there come passages with those wonderful violin scales, this guy shitfs the focus on to other instruments which while they are important, they do not stand out in those particular moments, and he does it again and again in the I and IV movements which are the most impresive ones in terms of technique and dexterity. When he does show the violins, he does it from the back, and the only thing you see are the violas, uf...
Yes, I guess you are right. The violas are just beautiful instruments. I was just concentrating on the violins here, as those violin passages are pretty impressive, and got missed out from the camera. As far as violas, they're just great in, say, Beethoven's 5th symphony, or in James Horner's music, "the perfect storm". I guess you'll have the same cameraman there.
Once again the strings are great...really in sync with each other...but unfortunately the oboes lack-luster playing ruin the whole performance...do they have tenure or something?such poor winds with such great strings...
The oboes at Vienna Phil. are complete different from other regular orchestra. They are copies of what the oboe seemed to be in 18th century. Th system is quite different. Probably you're not used to that sound. The oboe players are really good.
This is one of the finnest performance of Mozart`s orchestral works. In my own life, I never had any chances to hear him in concerts.However, I have heard his performances from his recordings.I truly recommed people hear his great recordings which may have bee unable to access in European shops.
It's the Grosse Musikvereinsaal - the great hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, the home of the Vienna Philharmonic since it opened in 1870. Its perfect accoustics makes the hall heaven for performers and audiences.

Mozart écrit à propos de la Symphonie Haffner K.385 (7août 1782) :
"Le premier Allegro doit être joué avec beaucoup de flamme et le dernier -aussi vite que possible"
in Badura-Skoda, Eva et Paul, L'art de jouer Mozart au piano, Editions Buchet/Chastel, Paris, 1974. (1972, Paul Badura-Skoda). p. 41
Il parlait des mouvements 1 et 4 bien sûr.

He just doesn't get it.

Actually Böhm's runs about 4:00, the rest is applause, but you still are correct.

And seeing violas is a problem? The little glory we do have is often short lived, so I think a little viola here and there can be a good thing.
Although, I do agree. Camera operators in general have no clue about which angles to use when. This video is no exception.
