...bellísimo movimiento!!...la popularidad del último(Rondó)...

conspira a veces en la apreciación integral de la obra.....

pero me alegro cuando la gente aunque sea lo reconoce

(Rondó) ó alguna vez lo escucho...

Artist says Alfred Brendel

[Dante121892]

Wooow I remember playing an excerpt of this in middle school. It's beautiful! :)

[m8a1x2]

PERFECT !

[bayreuth79]

Mozart is for me the greatest composer the world has ever seen- a large claim, I know, but I think there is sufficient reason to suppose so. This Piano Sonata is wonderful and wonderfully played by Mitsuko Uchida (certainly one of the finest Mozartian pianists of recent years).

[lizmillard]

what grade is this peace and it's beautiful

[NeverCryWolf64]

@lizmillard The first 3.5 minuites are grade four. The rest is about a grade 6 level.

[pokenerd99]

@NeverCryWolf64 It's funny, but I am doing this for my grade 8 exam... Seriously.

[pyung64]

@NeverCryWolf64

The whole sonata is diploma level (ATCL). There may not be many notes in the sonata, but this does not mean it's an easy piece.

She never tries to be flashy. Pure musicianship

[HugoCesar19]

Hitchens!

[1979PHG]

It's wonderful !! I would like to know on which piano she played this piece... Does anyone have an idea ; ) ??

[joerois404d]

@1979PHG

steinway model D. she is a steinway artist

[kingofcobwebs]

Absolutely beautiful ...

But Uchida-san needs a top knot. That hair is just too much.

[mitrumpetplaya]

Mitsuko Uchida is one of the greatest pianists of all time. She takes Mozart's already prodigal work, and elevates it to an entirely new level.

[dbeidesign]

@artworld26 Pretty big statement from a nobody.

[LLPorduction]

@dbeidesign

Pretty harsh judgement from a guy who dosn't know who is talking to... thanks youtube.

[ThisIsDream]

[evewiemer]

Beautiful, a very good interpretation!

[MrGrevy]

[goodguy630]

@MrGrevy umm... the guy who's playing...

[cromorne]

Just beautiful. This is exactly how I want to play this.

[Pianopianoplay]

Absolutely perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

[isayhi72]

This is absolutely sublime.

[aweitzer1]

lovely - it just feels like 'Mozart'; playful, graceful, just beautiful

[pianololita]

I've seen Mitsuko Uchida play with the orchestra before - she's amazing. She's got large, strong fingers!!! I loved this rendition by the way. It's close to perfection.

[pietrocelli123]

fantastco

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Aaah, Uchida's awesome! Mind you, she looks quite a bit like Sandra Oh...

[napsuta]

Thank you for this its so wonderful.

[rva25]

Conversation with Mozart!

[verdebuster]

@rva25 Conversation? How about drinking and parting with Mozart, that would be badass :D!!
