Horowitz - Mozart Sonata in C Major K. 330; 3rd Movement

[ajayajath]

u fool he was born in 1903!

if he was born in 1886 , he wuld be 100 yrs in this concert!!

[bagratiful]

Bravissimo!!!



[sannekk94]

That old man is truly amazing, cause he's such an great musician at his age!

[libertyluira]

Bravo sissco

Io sono un patito di Mozart

Ho quasi tutti i suoi concerti per Pianoforte

ed Orchestra alune Sinfonie e serenate,

Grazie della Seranta con il Grande Horowitz.

Saluti da Luigi Ratti

[EvolutionOfTheZombie]

i think 1886 is the year he was born, he looks about that age

[soobajeaba]

It's so great to see such old hands can have so much precision, and be so accurate. I admire it, I admire him... wow... ;)

[prince2000ful]

The music is in his spine.He could play this in darkness too. Fabulous musicians.

[Balgig]

i bet this whole sonata sounded magically entrancing to everyone there, and like you, im sure, i wish i could of been one of them.

[robelicit]

@Balgig yes indeed!



[miranda12033]

scary and awesome

[MrNefetiri]

sry like 2:13

[MrNefetiri]

wrong note around like 2:19>?

[8Ho03EdONl1liL]

This is worth it for the last three chords alone!

[HuntsmanHexion]

I've listened to this clip a lot allready. Wonderfull piece of art, historicly famous pianist and if I'd live up to be his age I'd never amount to what he was capable of but I'd like to have the opinion of other pianists here about some thing. I've never played the piano, but I'd like to know if I heard some things right here. At times 0:17, 0:38, 2:00, 2:35 does he accidently push a key beside the intended one (very short) or is that intended in the sheet? 2:11 off high note?

[hellboyreloaded]

@HuntsmanHexion only at 2:35 and at 2:11 are mistakes, the rest are apoggiaturas.

[HuntsmanHexion]

@hellboyreloaded Thanks for the information! I had never heard of an appoggiatura before.

[hellboyreloaded]

@HuntsmanHexion You're welcome. :D Oh, BTW, i recommend you to listen to Chopin's "Grande Valse Brillante op.18", there is a section near the middle that is full of apoggiaturas, very beautiful piece.

[Unealka]

I thought that there were no cameras in 1886. Maybe 1986 ? =)

[pbryld]

@Unealka There were definitely cameras in 1886. No VIDEO cameras however.

[renaudgg]

@Unealka I think he meant 1786

[Winternyt]

The levels of pianissimo he displays with each hand, always letting the melody line shine just a tiny bit brighter, are in perfect control from beginning to end. Brilliant!

[jayrod59]

I dare say, Bravo!

[giuseppe35789]

1886?

[BGreedie]

WTF is he chewing?

[aimsteroo]

@BGreedie his teeth probably

[guglielmiable]

@aimsteroo

c'est quoi cette réponse ????

[billlieb]

!!!!!!!!!!

[zhangshinyi]

uh you got the wrong year in your description >_<;;;

[TheCriticPiano]

The Russians look displeased....at the very beginning the observing woman was very eager to watch Horowitz. Well as they say, theres only two things that can please Russians: Seriousness, and Horowitz.

[GianneC]

@noirvalentin pianissimo = play really soft

he's got really soft hands XD

[singlehate]

0:00 - 0:01

they are thinking

"damn, the second mov of this piece was so slow -.-" xDDDD

[PIANOMANIAofficial]

Horowitz is a genius! I was at this concert in Moscow.

[yi238]

I never understood why anyone would cry just from a peice of music. Till now...Sniff...

[emanuel33e]

Moscow 1886? Lol! Please correct this!

[indenrachen]

He strums the last three chords rather than playing them as they are written, so as the music ends the piano becomes a lyre, and he, Apollo: the divinity of music is revealed. What a moment!

[bluehouselucy]

The music is looks fantasic the notes are playing on his piano it in C major.

this is my favourite key note is in C major. because i like it and i really love it as well!

[fr3d420]

1886? I think you mean 1986

[H057IL3]

The Eddie Van Halen of piano!!

[anonymousQ45]

wow i am watching Horowitz live and in HD.

[luckygoof]

lol 1:21 he's like yeah i just did that

[flic71]

che tocco sublime... indimenticabile e irraggiungibile...

[konigstephan]

This has absolutely nothing to do with, notes, pitch and rhythm, technique, dynamics, phrasing, or whatever you want. THIS is music.

[SUNG475]

@konigstephan

Well...it does...

[lucasbudega]

He's got to rock in guitar hero

[pboxinator]

How can you dislike this? Of all the movies on youtube, many of them filmed by complete idiots, and this gets 23 dislikes! The madness!

[AuroraCelest]

Look at the piano, ladies and gentlemen. He has no music: He is a great musician than most of us.

[soushiazialle08]

Maybe this was filmed in 1986, because Horowitz died on 1989. Too bad, he's such a good pianist. :)

[bizzare1bizzare]

are you sure this was filmed in 1886? :-)

[chicagoloop1992]

Lol 1886 .. 

[crowdawg7768]

@chicagoloop1992 Horowitz had Benjamin Button's disease.

[chicagoloop1992]

Lol 1886 ..

[kev7978]

Horowitz looked like he was playing "Mary had a little lamb".

[StaConnystanza]

omg! *-*

[BassicStorm]

damn i didnt know that this camera exist from 1886 XD 

[Everyman1337]

@BassicStorm Fuck you, gumbi they had awesome cameras back then! :P

[luckygoof]

Who dislikes this?

[Josedono]

Sometimes I read these Youtube comments. Lot of troubled folks out there. Horowitz is no joke, eh?

[H057IL3]

Whole Lotta Sonata.

[davidrockstheworld]

this is just mindblowing. his touch is so light and crispy, it brings the mozart spirit back. BTW it is 1986 instead of 1886...

[derekeskelson]

what a great piano player!

[louiszahara]

เทพสุดๆ

[bruccheri70]

udir e veder arpeggiar con tal garbo e saggia eleganza piacevolmente distoglie ed incanta...

[xIIxLiesxIIx]

Are feathers, not hands.

[belialah]

deamt.....perfecto

[viszla100]

Is it Mozart or God himself?

[lese91]

he looks like he is going to keel over and die within the next 2 months yet plays this like a champ

[lalabunnybr]

@lese91 ur comment made me giggle a lil thanx xD

[gothgirl1330]

<.<' he is.......A NINJA :D

[sinancans]

what grade is this piece?

[themasterbaitor69]

@sinancans INFINITY

[APandaOnPiano]

22 people were stunned and missed the like button

[budleygirl]

22 people are jealous.

[jefftam1234]

@budleygirl I am... But I Thumb-up'd.

[srvaughan2]

Man, it looks soooo easy played by him...

[chiiyshirogane]

cool :D

[paulostroff99]

Awesome playing.TY.

[animerocks707]

dude his fingers FLY across that REALLY fast

[azaki7800]

cool!!^^

[anyan112]

Happy Birthday Horowitz!

October 1, 1903 – November 5, 1989

Intersting true fact: he was Jewish

[jefftam1234]

@anyan112 He said something like: "There are three kinds of pianists: Jewish pianists, homosexual pianists, and bad pianists"

[noirvalentin]

Where does he get those amazing pianissimos from?.....See 0:23 for instance. Wow.

[karazh]

@noirvalentin thats why hes one of the bet pianists in the world! i cant belive it myself, in oyutube are a lot of great examples, only prob, he sometime overdoes it in a lot of stuff from chopin !

[rekab7070]

@noirvalentin Yes, truly amazing! Horowitz once said that the 'secret' of his technique was in his pianissimos. I think it also helped that he played exclusively on his own piano no matter where in the world he performed, and which he had voiced and regulated to his exacting specifications.

[jaho101]

@rekab7070 His piano has super light action, which was the main thing for him

[grame141]

@noirvalentin theres a pedal for it...

[crowdawg7768]

@noirvalentin great call. it's almost not even human.

[Lester046]

@noirvalentin just amazing.

[lizarthopinsky]

@noirvalentin

i believe it's the combination of amazing sound control plus left pedal

[guglielmiable]

@noirvalentin

de voir ou d'entendre ?????

[DocMoJoAndrew]

@noirvalentin there's a mute pedal on the piano....

[livelovelisten100]

@noirvalentin think he's using the una corda there or no?

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@noirvalentin from his hands position (absolutely "wrong" for an ordinary pianist... but of course, he wasn't ordinary at all, and he could).

[protte225]

@newFranzFerencLiszt

But I notice when there are rapid figures to be played, he curves his fingers and plays on the cushions "properly. It is odd though the way the fingers are extended so much of the time, but I think it's mostly when the fingers are not moving rapidly and he simply wants to create a soft beautiful tone.

[davidovich00]

woah... just when I started thinking Mozart wasn't very original in his compositions... This even sounds a little like Chopin O.o

[TikiFury]

0:12 = deathly pinky!!

[DzikLethal]

awesome work : ) i feel this Flow.

[Powerslider]

Every time i hear Horowitz play Mozart on his Moscow performance i'm deeply moved...

Anyway, my new employer told me he has been building the ultimate stereo audio set which would be worth like 20.000 euro's or something.

When he told me i could come over soon and listen to it myself, i ordered Horowitz' Moscow CD immediately. The DVD is good, but the CD's audio is alot better!! My god, this is going to be even more amazing, if that is even possible...

Horowitz... Mozart... Pure bliss!

[hitan1986]

semplicemente immenso...

[MusicCohen]

Listen to MusicNissim compossing

[shuffleonesPete]

nice

[Starbirdy9999]

Hey, Horowitz ages backwards!

[alexjrmarino]

22 dislikes?!?!What's happening to you guys.. U can't just dislike when GOD is speaking to you..very sad about the whole world though..

[andrespaola]

Que delicia escuchar a este señor...

[Dhafanciqwa]

Brillante!!!Полетные пассажи,глубокое понимание музыки и произведения, которое он исполнил мастерски. Мастер класс для всех ученик и начинающих молодых исполнителей!!!!

[pauletorres]

a ver que un niño prodigio haga eso!

[309hjk]

Mozart is a genius and Horowitz new it.

[meandmyevo]

I don't want to sound disrespectful or uncultured, but I can't really see his music is considered so great. A lot of it is interesting, but I don't really see what makes his compositions any better than others, and beyond that, why so many people still listen to it.

I only ask this because, the only people I personally know that listen to it are stupid and just want to seem more cultured and intelligent.

[joanmiarnau]

@meandmyevo listen to the 25th symphony please, im no snob, just like it

[meandmyevo]

@joanmiarnau It sounds like almost all the piano music I've ever heard, just more complicated.

[meandmyevo]

@MrRoofusPadumelon No, you're going to have to trust me on this one. People who couldn't even pass the HSGQE are NOT listening to Mozart because they appreciate the musical brilliance of it.

Now if you're quite finished being an asshole and judging someone you don't and have/will never know, I'd really like an answer. What made the "greats" great? What places them above musical artists of our time?

[gouloum2222]

@meandmyevo :) don't worry, it just takes time to really appreciate classical music for someone who has never been used to it but when you're in, it's really difficult to take nowadays music serioulsy ( sorry for any english mistakes). the more you'll listen to classical music the more you'll see it's richness.

[leondertien]

@meandmyevo Mozart was definately not the best. He just sounded the best because his music is.. lighter :] he is still a good composer, even tho not the best. I appreciate Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Bach and Rachmannioff a lil' bit more.

[MrRoofusPadumelon]

@leondertien haaa and thats your opinion not the facts

[MrRoofusPadumelon]

@leondertien ur stupidy amazes me and makes me very angry but i honestly choose to get angry from your comment but honestly you have know idea what your talking about

[piachmaninov]

@meandmyevo Disrespectful and uncultured. :P

[marloBrando444]

¿este tío lleva toda su vida tocando música que escribieron otros o qué? escucharle es una delicia y el talento que tiene para mover las manos sobre el piano es increíble pero vamos, que hacerse viejo así repitiendo como un mono desde niño hasta viejo lo que estaba escrito en los papeles que te encontraste tirados por el suelo pues a mí en el fondo me transmite tristeza

[Bobgdean]

He is the Greatest Pianist ever. All other Great Pianist sit back and listen to Recordings of Horowitz.

[nellie2581]

I love Mozart's music!

[spikeyemu]

he makes it seems so easy!

[309hjk]

BRAVO!! WHY AREN'T THEY STANDING????

[52NANO]

Effortless perfection.

[gregbboy619]

So beautiful...so lovely...!

[tominhhang]

OMG he scared me :-s so great

[309hjk]

Mozart is part of the foundation of composition and music of our generation..He cannot be accomplished by anyone since.

[wendellvasquez1988]

The bow is freaking awesome. Imma buy me one like that.

[monkeyshinobi]

wow he's so good! I wish i learned piano as a child. I mean i could still learn if i wanted to but i'm busy w/ school >.<

[309hjk]

I would have given anything to be sitting in the audience at this performance.

[orson198305]

Who mentioned Muse?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..­. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

[wizardfinger27]

unbeatable Mozart.



[dudethenamesbrian]

Indeed legendary, jst wish those kids in the audience never came, they looked bored, i bet their parenta forced them to come -__-

[KaliumPoppi]

@dudethenamesbrian

Right... well... parents think they are great to bring children there... just because it's really divine!! (At least it's what I think, but my parents love pop things. Queer.)

[tiffanymsw]

he. is. amazing.

a legendary!

[AnthemicPolemic]

Muse is nothing special whatsoever, dont even know why someone would bring it up. It isn't especially advanced even for rock, boring formulaic structures arpeggios and some shouting. Fucking yawn. I am a young guitarist and even I am not so artistically bankrupt to be dazzled by their lasers and big sounds, it is just spectacle, not sublime like this.

[MusicisLife373]

@AnthemicPolemic the very fact you are slating a musicaly brilliant different band of our time shows much arragance and small minded-ness

[AnthemicPolemic]

@MusicisLife373 That you would call such a mediocre assemblage of musicians 'brilliant' and 'different' only goes to show your lack of taste - sure they are talented musicians, they are professionals it is what they do - but they fail to create anything original, only an amalgam of genres and 90% of their songs sound identical. Yet another band that wrote one good album and then made a career out of releasing the same idea in different forms to those who can't tell the difference, like you.

[MusicisLife373]

@AnthemicPolemic lol you are a very well, uptight and confidant in yourself and your opinions arent you? i have bad taste im sure i have bad taste worshiping all forms of musical art from Classical to dubstep to hi hop to todays bands debussy chopin mozart beethoven radiohead muse john lennon miles davis nick drake bon iver de la soul im sure i must have bad taste listening to this music lol your comment only comfirms your out right silly-ness please comment back with some more blur blur blur:)

[AnthemicPolemic]

@MusicisLife373 @MusicisLife373 I didn't say bad taste, I said lack of, that implies something that you obviously missed. I'm sure it is nice being able to enjoy any old sound that happens to enter you ears, some of us are more discriminating because we have more invested in music and all that it entails than simple entertainment. If you consider that 'blur blur blur' then you probably also consider amateur juggling to be the same level of performance as this.

[MusicisLife373]

@AnthemicPolemic ok again your state of mind and petty assumetions have ounce again reigned supreme, i dont use music or art for mere entertainment infact im studying music im a piano player myself and i never would class the music of mozart to ametaur your just assumeing ounce again maby we should all become elitlest pricks like you because thats how you sound , oh its not classical music or music i deem to be supreme so ill just slate it and slate people who like it :) so yes you do talk blur

[AnthemicPolemic]

@MusicisLife373 Your opinion is no more relative, and based on as many assumptions, so if you arent being elitist then you are at least blind to your own hipocracy. You dont have to agree with me with the notion that muse are shit, but if you are going to disagree you are going to face the opinion behind it. If that upsets you, keep your mouth shut.

[MusicisLife373]

@AnthemicPolemic your blind to your hippo demacy ahhh look at me mother im useing fancy words to further a stiff cock going u my backside very well then mr oooo awww educated ooo awwwwww i shall bring many trained cats that shit flaming spisders to rub your face in a horses shit and the name of that horse is shitmchipocracy lard ass the elitest horse of spinal fluid you fucking boreing up ass eager eagle bummer. blarrrrrrrrrrrrrr xD xD XD oooo ill comment some more intelligant shit back xD xxx

[ArtD42]

@AnthemicPolemic Wow, I haven't seen this wonderful brand of obnoxious elitism in a long time! Thanks as always for giving classical music a good name!

[leaftofall]

he's the god.

[methminiklc]

Yep. Awesome playing!

I wish to be a piano player like you...........

[EliasCalabretta1]

I love your playing

I wish I could play Mozart pieces with your precision.

How long have you been playing Mozart for?

Another question.

What grade do you think that this Sonata is? I might think about doing some of its movements for my 7th or 8th exam.

[saraahhbeaarah]

so freaking AHHHHmazing!:-)

[Dumplingmaster]

froogin eck,that's right nice

[Michaellucho75]

Love the man !!

[allofrankiebaby]

sweet shit!

[Myyadda1]

the sound is so clear!!!

and he makes it look so easy as well! :D

[309hjk]

Have you mastered MOZART?

[neckovski3]

Fascinating... no words...

[katimski]

Moscow 1886?

[ivangammel]

@katimski 1986

[otherjoe1234]

lol, i just looked up this video so i could listen to it to help with my music theory homework

[OzzyKingofKings]

And to think there are people who don't like Horowitz's Mozart...what folly.

I for one am certain that this is the most sublimely beautiful Mozart playing I've ever heard from any pianist, alive or dead.

[beerndumplings]

oh god my

[idaspe]

¡Qué buena calidad de videos había en 1886!

Jajajaja, excelente versión, amo a Horowitz :o)

[jewish1972]

idem de lo k dije para el 1º mov

[PianistDing]

absolutely AMAZING

[309hjk]

Sorry that is M.O.Z.A.R.T.!

[VinciLit]

@309hjk

SO you're sorry that this is mozart.. great!

[309hjk]

@VinciLit I think I misspelled his name in another post is all. Possibly another video as well because I do not see it on this one. Oh well, that was a while ago, I have slept since then, carry on, as you were..

[RATM4LYFE]

Delightful. 1986 perhaps?

[309hjk]

I have to watch this again! I am blown away at the compusitional and talent of Moart and Horowitz! I feel so small!! Pure Genius!! I AM SPEECHLESS!! Unfortunate background noise.
