Mozart Piano Concerto No.23 Movement 2 (Horowitz)

[filmudrzewa]

@kartofobelachka You can get most classical sheet music from the Petrucci library. This is the concerto: imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_­No.23_in_A_major,_K.488_%28Moz­art,_Wolfgang_Amadeus%29

[kartofobelachka]

This concerto is great, the pianist, too. Does anyone know where we can find the sheets ready to be downloaded?

[YOTVAT12345]

it is so butifull , my heart feels like crying

[brenonion]

mozart was way ahead of his time, i can hear chopin and hints of the adagio in beethovens hammerklavier

[rubenerrepe]

gracias rmannion, es un placer muy grande poder seguir la interpretación

[outwestjake]

thank you, i'm going to store this in my mind

[thewhatever379only]

Too sublime.

[Diffomega]

In fact, I can hear chopin in the whole song, I can't see him in the sheet but it's just there if you hear it. Except for some mozarty basses.

[Bridge0723]

@Diffomega no doubt mozart had great influence on chopin. 

[chocotastic]

@Bridge0723 no doubt mozart had great influence on almost every great composer to come out of history

[Diffomega]

It sounded quite chopinesque before the orchestra came in in my opnion

[angiminator]

A lovely piece of music.

[Rasterius]

It's great but I don't see how this is genius.

[bayreuth79]

There is no doubt that the tempo is too quick. Mozart clearly marked it "Adagio", not "Andante".

[Chanmin2007nz]

@bayreuth79 I agree thnx I was waiting for someone to say that

[Chanmin2007nz]

@bayreuth79 I agree thnx I was waiting for someone to say that.

But still nice performance

[fakereflex]

I Love Mozart!

[MajorKermit]

Can't spell Mozart without 'art'.

[celesteaida48]

Mi fa piangere, ridere, sognare...Bellezza pura, un dono di Dio!

[celesteaida48]

Mi fa piangere, ridere, sognare...

[hrach85]

this music, this tune is out of our universe, because human beings cannot comprehend the power of this master piece .

[Corzsair25]

Where i can get the partition? (part,parting? for piano) plz Sorry i'm french ;)

[vaughangarrick]

@Corzsair25 try IMSLP in google a music website woth everything

[Gargantupimp]

Lol too fast? This is the definitive performance of this concerto!

[C7Petra]

i had to make a drawing in which I had to describe what i felt listening to this

[juanpi182]

@C7Petra Wow great! I love that kind of mix between arts. Which was the result of drawing? srry for my english

[C7Petra]

@juanpi182 i love mixing arts too. I was really sad when i was listening so i made a view of a city at night and only the street lights were on, and a guy was looking at the city and started to remember all the happy moments he had with his ex girlfriend and i drew his ex girlfriend's ghost. .. that's what i understood from Mozart

[juanpi182]

@C7Petra Wonderful, thats really inspiration. I always tend to imagine places when i listen to music but i never painted, because im not good, but you just make me wanna learn painting for mixing it with music. Thank you!

[C7Petra]

@juanpi182 trust me i'm not very good at drawing either but i think everybody has its one style and i'm glad that i inspirited you. You should take some art classes and form your drawing style :)

[geisterbahn1]

nice posting ! more please from Wolfgang, I like reading the score with the music,It gives the Masterpeice a whole new dimension .

[xmarisamejiax]

SLOW DOWN

[Lanouiille13]

très pratique merci :)

[pokerjyden]

Just amazing.

[Larryrice321]

Timeless beauty

[fedaykin6]

played too fast!

[scharlesbliss1001]

to fast for my taste

[PlusleMinun]

I am quite positive that Mozart himself wouldn't have minded at all what another genius had added on to this beautiful piece of his to make it sound truly unrivaled.

[diuscorvus]

i'm not compleeetely sure horowitz's improvisations are in good taste, but it's marvelous interpretation anyway

[beranbr]

This is music. A melody that flows with such fluidity.

[Heidicopterkins]

I wish I had the music for it.. :(

[stagesix6]

if it's faster than mozart's indication, mozart commited a mistake... cause this is perfect this way....

[plagueofangels666]

Does any one think this is one of his better works (i mean mozart)? It has more feeling than most of his other piano concerto's

[poplife123]

@plagueofangels666 i think the dminor is v good as well as c minor....this seems the most romantic of all his concertos

[plagueofangels666]

@poplife123 oh but i'm an amateur, not a connaisseur. i don't know anything about tempo or music language in general. but what wonderous works of music are there. and what joy to see how others do stiil appreciate music like this :)

[celebrei]

How can you go wrong with Horowitz playing Mozart?

[hbanana7]

am I the only one who hears this a pitch higher than the written music??

[equineface]

Working on this one... I love Mozart:)

[equineface]

Found it... I'm really enjoying it!!!!

Thanks soo much drillsargentadog... :) Your the best!!!!

[bveenendaal81]

@equineface Well, I know how. I bought a cd with the same music, but they play it very slowly. Horowitz plays with allure. That's how.

This is much better. I think I have to buy a new cd :-D

[equineface]

Where can I find the sheet music for this??? I love this movement... I must have it:)

[fisarmonicista]

@equineface imslp.org

[MrConcepto]

whatb do you mean Patter ?

[thedrumbum1990]

Profound

[chopinandliszt]

Please visit my channel and try my video of Mozart piano concerto No.24

[logodaedally]

Only 1 person missed the thumbs up button out of 130! Incredible!

[lePistolero]

The begining sound's like siciliano by bach/kempf... funny

[alcowhorelication]

@lePistolero ya! i thought so too!

[EdiEllerymissing]

This is amazingly beautiful!!

[davelsp]

Simplesmente génio

[PaterLappich]

Horowitz was the one, who correct Mozarts wrong keys :-)

[FilonovaEY]

Help me to find this score in pdf

[drillsargentadog]

@FilonovaEY There is a free PDF of the full score at the International Music Scores Library Project. If you go to the piece's Wikipedia page there is a link to it (You tube won't let me post it here for some reason).

[v4liumfrance]

sheet look for 2 pianos

[Rheesoman]

I'd have to say it 's a bit to fast for me....but then I'm only used to one recordign

[Lukecash12]

Aside from the superfluous liner notes, I really like his interpretation. Very simple.

[xValbosMacabrex]

WAY too fast :(

[wieslawaify]

Piekne dzielo!!!

[freemamer]

Incredible!

Could you give me the score? .. I have been looking for a long time and I can not find it, I have really wanted to play this movement!

Thank you very much!

Iñaki

[faleru]

i think its too fast,.. and should the apoggiaturas be played on the beat?

[her0esfan]

see the video of the recording session - you can admire his skills even more

[onelark4]

Horowitz is Horowitz but Adagio is Adagio!

For me Adagio in the Horowitz vision isn't Adagio! Is only my opinion!

[fedaykin6]

played too fast!

[kleinbogen]

Does anyone know if there is a piano solo transcription of this piece?

[profslump20078]

I want everybody, who says that this piece isnt played well because it s too fast or whatever, to shut up. Horowitz was genius and if this is his way to play this concerto you should accept it, without any stupid comments...every master of his instrument has his own way to make music...

[lntegral]

Just because a piece is not played slowly does not mean it is not beautiful... appreciate the notes and emotion in this excellent recording

[gerardbedecarter]

But I think the orchestra brings the tempo back slightly to the adagio I imagine Mozart intended.

[fwcraigslist]

1989...? humm... Well, you guys should check out his 1986 recording. I think it is much better. love his interpretation regardless.

[hunchbacked]

Mozart, concerto #23, K.V. 488, 2nd movement, adagio (means slowly!)

There exists a score for tow pianos (mine is EDITION PETERS).

I have played it, alternating the two piano.

I had a vinyl in sixties, with an excellent interpretation I was often listening to.

That's why I know it so well, and that's also why I find Horowitz doesn't play it on the right tempo.

And please, don't rate me negatively just because I think differently, it's not a proof of intelligence!

[LeX140891]

Yeah, it's too fast for you because you're used to a slower tempo. But this does not mean that there is no sadness.

[LeX140891]

And have you heard him play?

[hunchbacked]

I haven't heard Mozart play, but I have seen the indication he has written, and it was "adagio" which means "slowly".

Some pieces must not played fast; for instance you don't play the 1st movement of the moonlight sonata of Beethoven like you play the 3rd one; if you were playing the 1st movement of this sonata like you play the 3rd one, it would completely ruin it; conversely if you were playing the 3rd movement like the 1st one, it would equally ruin this 3rd movement.

To each piece its tempo

[hunchbacked]

It's too fast.

It must be played more slowly.

Playing it too fast removes all the sadness, all the melancholy, all the beauty of the piece.

[pillertune]

Can you please provide the sheet music reference used in the video? This edition is great! Thanks.

[quellafiamma]

Truely emotion provoking music. Amazing the effect music can have.

[AscanioInAlba1]

Look - the tempo is ADAGIO. I cannot rate highly enough the Roger Norrington/Melvyn Tan rendition with fortepiano.

[BLONDZIK]

[SilentKnight719]

I believe another story goes that when Frederick II of Prussia (I think that's the right ruler) wanted to commission an opera from him when he was around 16, Frederick had one of his composers make a little welcoming march to be played on his arrival. Mozart heard the piece once, played it perfectly by ear, and then added to it on the spot, turning the bland piece into a beautiful work of music. The composer who made the piece watched him turn his piece 20x betr

A tribute to his greatness :P

[Craftonia]

That's a scene from the movie Amadues. Great scene. Really!

[MJTTOMB]

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about. Care to cite your sources?

[RealErcole]

genius!!magical notes ever wonderful and it will be so forever

[kempff95]

I think that mozart was a very gentle and intellegent man,this movment show about very fitting event.........

pure moazart i love him so much....................

[SilentKnight719]

idk... from all the accounts I've seen, Mozart was a very outgoing, rowdy and eager to do new things. I think he was the first to write a German opera, which is ridiculous since German is not very flowing at all (not to insult Germany or its people), and wanted the opera to take place in a *cough* brothel *cough*. If you don't know the word, look it up xD.

Absolute genius though, utterly prodigious. He drove his contemporary composers crazy with his amazing ability.

[Craftonia]

Another Amadeus scene. Still Great!

[Tdgonline]

Read somewhere that Mozart was insignificant looking and small in appearance. And would click his heels as he talked with people. Usually about small things and gossip. Also loved billiards, horses, and fine clothes.

[JiRocket]

The sound is out of this world when the horns start singing. This is one of the greatest music I've ever come across, one of the most enchanting! Thank you for uploading =]

(tho i haven't heard the slower one)

[uptilthesky]

It's faster than other versions, but it doesn't take away the emotions.

[NLEagle408]

way2fast

[nate65pa]

As much as I love this song, I feel that this interpretation is too fast for my taste.

[Craftonia]

You know I heard this version for years before ever hearing the slower interpretations and I have the exact feeling you do, only 180' opposite! I feel that by slightly increasing the tempo it brings out the beautiful hesitations on the piano slightly more. The slower versions lose those moments and instead the piano sounds too strict and less emotional.

[callfall1]

@Craftonia That is a very interesting point, I think you are quite right but I find the slower version a touch more mournful at times with overtures of happiness. You're in titled your opinion, I suppose that beautiful songs such as this can be interpreted differently and they can mean totally different things to others than it might to me

[chutdigadut]

such a beautiful movement

[mehdigoudarzi]

absolutely phenomenal... like magic notes :)

[Rodintube]

Totally agree with Platy and it is also amazing how wonderful Mozart pieces are and how few notes they have sometimes. This moviment is one exemple. Just great!

[PlatypusofCalifornia]

This amount of genius in five and a half minutes is overwhelming to the human mind.

Argh. I want to conduct this now...

[Swedensfinest82]

Any chance that anyone have the notes for this to share, as in pdf or the like?

This is probably one of my favorite parts from mozart but I have big troubles to find the notes for it.

[ILoveElectronicMusic]

tinyurl [dot] com/6dmgjb

Movement II - Adagio: starts on page 20

[Swedensfinest82]

Thanks mate.

Apperantly I had it but the "adagio" part is pretty well hidden in this long sheet.

Thanks again.

[ILoveElectronicMusic]

np :)

[oblifan132]

I like your taste!

[GrodSamson]

I almost feel responsible for the end of rmannion's hiatus: a week ago, I left him a comment that said, "You should make more videos." Then he did.

I know this isn't the case, but I like to tell myself that.

[3cplantin]

Welcome back, rmannion! Thanks for posting the series today. As always, very welcome additions to YT!

@rmannion that's not possible

[xmarisamejiax]

@QWERTY08081

It's called a duet.
