For those of you who care, i'll translate @almaluna20 's comment, he/she said:

Have I died and gone to heaven?

[NAAMxLOOS]

Gorgeous. Currently learning this on accordion (a bit strange, I know, but trust me, it sounds beautiful)

[almaluna20]

Ya me he muerto , y he subido al cielo??

[PianoDude1011]

it's...it's just one of the pieces of music you might cry while listening to it. it's just...beautiful. you simply cannot dislike this. the one person that disliked this MUST have have pressed the wrong button.

[JuxtapositionJavy]

AAAHHHHH!!!! Im going INSANE just listening to this song!!!

[PianoDude1011]

beautiful!

[MegaILoveNaruto]

i close my eyes and feel like i am in paradise. this song calms my nerves.

[truckinunc]

This is also great on an organ! My church organist had a recital and played this.....it sounded great!

[Herteleer]

Whenever I hear the glass armonica, I start crying, but I do not know if I am deeply sad or unbearable happy...

[sdegrace]

Vraiment très beau video! J'aime beaucoup ce petit bijou de Mozart.

[fujikokun]

i hate this instrument with a fiery passion, it hurts my ears :(

[onidsouza]

@fujikokun Don't listen to it then :)

[fujikokun]

@onidsouza i didn't listen to all of it, but i had to research it for an assignment. thus i discovered i don't like it. it's nothing personal against franklin, it just literally hurts my ears. it's reverberates painfully.

[ObiWanShinobi1]

@fujikokun The high pitched notes are a little hard to bear - especially when "artificially reproduced" something gets lost in the conversion to electronic sound.

[FFFKeys]

@ObiWanShinobi1 It depends by the sample rate, and however if you want high quality, you should listen from cd, not on youtube!!! Sorry for my english...

[chrish12345]

so beautiful

[ambrosius]

This is so beautiful. It makes me think of angel music.

[Watcher3223]

@ambrosius

Actually, that's kind of funny.

There's a story where Mr. Franklin's wife had woken up to hearing the glass armonica. Initially, she thought she had died, hearing sound that was so beautifully unearthly that it had to be heaven.

[wizard37773]

tut tut old chap. watch Mattimeo or Redwall!

[wizard37773]

mozart wrote this...that dude's amazing.

[TheMagnificentmozart]

This is magnificent!! Mozart wrote this for Benjamin Franklin secretly!!!!

[TheMagnificentmozart]

wow this is very wonderful!!! i like this!!

[mightypeter1]

BAM. makes me so gad damn horny.

[MrHorus8]

So calming, sweet. Wolfgang is a certainly nice armonicist.

If the spheres did play music in their courses around the sun, they would sound like this

[KarlAmade]

This is 18th century music, not fat and over driven Romantic music.

[KarlAmade]

I was not attacking this music, but commenting aeroidus' comment. >=(

This is the right tempo, and it is NOT fat over driven Romantic music.

[tomorocko]

@KarlAmade

This is awesome but dont dis Romantic music :)

[BettytheAnimalLover]

So so pretty......

My favorite instrument....

[stktrd]

could the virtuoso be Bruno Hoffman? Absolutely beautiful, ethereal sound.

[glas88888]

the virtuoso is Christa Schönfeldinger, a member of the vienna glasharmonika duo

[bishoffski26]
