That is so beautiful. I have been working on this song for a while now, and this definitely inspired me to work harder at it and it has given me an ear to how it should really sound. Thank you :)
I don't think I've ever ears Rondo Alla Turca played so professionally in my life. I've heard so pianist after pianist either play the song with little meaning, or attack the song. But I really heard the "march" in how you played this, without attacking it. Your hands were steady and graceful. Wow.
3:29 - 3:37 - why, mozart, why didnt you make this part longer.. its the best part of the whole song in my opinion.. could listen to it over and over again!
@hellangel28 -- I agree! this passage always reminds be of a dog barking -- a dog with a very high-pitched voice ... or perhaps a human high-pitched laugh -- have you seen Amadeus :) ? could it be the composer himself do you think?
I started this song not too long ago and, I wanted to know how did you play 1:21 I need it to be explained or tutorial please I need to play this in my talent show in march or I have to stick with Fur Elise I want to play this.
Awesome! I wish the camera didn't move to different angles, I would like to watch the whole thing from the top only, I'm learning this song and the end is the most difficult. It might take a lifetime to play like that though.
can somebody help me? My technique is really bad when the A major motif is staggered at the octaves (3:03) my hands don't feel strong enough to play fluently, I always have to slow down when it comes to it. How can I fix this? :/
Great, great performance. Nearly perfect! By far the best version on Youtube. I could listen to your stroke, your delicacy of feeling and your ability to express it for hours. Thank you!
@Charlotte1584 If you think this is crazy check Paul play Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor, or Fantasie Impromtu (the prelude has better quality, though).
I had to play this at a recital once, in high school, and I have absolutely no memory of the recital, either during, before or after; but I do remember one evening that my best friend came to the house while I was practicing this, and she sat in the living room and listened to me play... why is it memorable when you are playing for a friend, but a whole anonymous audience can disappear from memory
wownice you are very talented and i guess so am i ive been playing since 7 years old and im not that yet but if you can send a link of where to get these nots that would be awesome
Absolutly Fantastic!!! I and most of the country can see you put ALOT of work into this piece! It has Excellent uses of Dynamics! Also the Sound Quality is TOP Range man! Well edited mate, you deserve a good break!
Wow. I learned this song when I was 8 or 9. I could play it, but I had TINY hands, so it was WAY harder than it should have been. Sure, I could play it at full speed, but this dude's hands GLIDE across the piano. It would take me another month to be this good, so it would take TWICE as long. I can't play it any more though. I started learning other songs. I do play a bit of this from time to time though. I love this song though, even though I played it 3 years ago. Still a great song. : )
Wow, first time ever I heard you play Mozart, and a really great job you do too. I'd love to hear you play his C minor concerto, would you consider uploading it?
Now I'm off to look for Ms. Charbonnier's book. Nannerl was supposed to be as talented as her brother, and no doubt had she lived today, she would have become just as famous. Thanks Paul!
HOLY....that was amazing. I can only imagine the hours it took to master that so well. I'm sure if Mozart were still alive today, he would have been moved to tears hearing one of his most famous pieces played that well!
yes, definetly the best video of alla turca on youtube. the other ones just simply..suck. i dont "feel it" when i listen to theirs but yours is just awesome man.
Lol, he flip-flopped CCEE G CCEEG and AACC E AACCE... :P he put the high E's and High C's first when he came back through the second time, very sneaky. :D Sound better too.
5 Stars for playing it so smoothly. What everyone is failing to notice is that he messed up on the CCE(high)E G CCE(High)E G, AAC(high) C E AAC(high)C E. He did the high E's first, and the high C's first. I used to play it like that until I listened to a recording and asked my choir director about it. The correct way is the simpler way, but your way I like much better, though it isn't how Mozart wrote it. ^.^ Very Nice still, and anyone who gets angry can check the sheet music.
This is truly an outstanding performance. There are a lot of videos of Rondo Alla Turca on youtube and this one really stands out. I particularly like how you bring out the left hand in some parts.
That is so beautiful. I have been working on this song for a while now, and this definitely inspired me to work harder at it and it has given me an ear to how it should really sound. Thank you :)
