Mozart - Piano and Violin Sonata in C Major KV6 - Mov. 1-2/4

[DaniGordilloCP]

Good version. Playing by who?

[stickom]

@DaniGordilloCP It says at the title (Performed by Rachel Podger, violin

Gary Cooper, fortepiano) I gues?! ;)

[MrMelina61]

qualcuno di voi ha scritto qualcosa del genere a 8 anni? allora state zitti ed ascoltate.

[TheYayajolie]

MoZart inspires!

[Ddely97]

I just wanna say: SO BEAUTIFUL, SO FANTASTIC!

[justin100n97]

not bad good

[Pierinopasquotti]

Mozart ha composto questa sonata a otto anni. Musicisti, tutti uniti, giù la testa, o pure in alto per ammirare il Dio della musica.

[gianm73yout]

@Pierinopasquotti non esagerare... è un brano gradevole, mica un capolavoro! E' risaputo che il bimbo fosse estremamente ricettivo e creativo. Ma aveva molta strada da fare.

[merlinos95]

When I was 6, I used to pee on myself. At the same age, Mozart used to compose sonatas. To each his own

[AXESHREDDER21]

@merlinos95 and pee on himself

[MrConvivator]

Danke, habe einen Link gesetzt

[solaragr]

I agree with "pianofolle" and "abandonwithoutaname". It's so innocent and light!

[napsuta]

Thank you for this. Its delightful. Thank you also for the programme notes.

[N3H3C]

I think the Arpeggiated Bass is more suited to the fortepiano than harpsichord, it is more clearer and has more dynamic range

[outoftunefiddler]

Thanks, much, for the notes you have here.Glad you gave us the info!

[hexKermit]

Genius...

[bookkeeper57]

Mozart's sixth composition; probably written when he FIVE years old.

[Angel94angel94]

If only people listened to this kind of music nowadays...

[tinhinane1980]

very nice music like it

[TheGeekface99]

Writing is one thing, editing is another. Mozart still gave it its birth, his father just delivered it. His father couldn't write such music as his son, never could. Although Leopold was a good teaacher of music, his composing was good at best.

[JBAmadeus]

I hate to say it, but even though many give young Wolfgang all the credit for such beautiful music at such a young age, it was really Leopold, his father, that would thoroughly edit his son's compositions beyond recognition. So, in a way, the work is barely even Mozart's.

[karazh]

@JBAmadeus fail, of course he composed it by himself...the same for mendelssohn...

[JBAmadeus]

@karazh hey, read up on mozart before you reply to that. he didn't compose the finished thing

[TheGeekface99]

@JBAmadeus duh, its true his father edited his work but mozart wrote it , big differents. Like giving birth to a baby or delivering a baby. His father was no where near the composer Wolfgang was even at the age of 5. When Leopold was 5, he was running around throwing dirt at kids. He didnt get into music until later in his life.

[JBAmadeus]

@TheGeekface99 that's not my point. dont you effing get it? his dad DID write the music! wolfgang would compose, to some degree, but his father performed the physical task of writing it down on paper. leopold then altered his son's music to a point where it was not really recognizable as wolfgang's... anyway, i guess in a way you're right - the base of this piece still IS wolfgang's own creation.

[JBAmadeus]

@TheGeekface99 and, if you didn't already know, Leopold was obviously NOT 5 years old and throwing dirt at kids when he was working with his son on this piece.

[misterarrecho]

He was so cute!

[RICPOIRIER1]

Completely charming!

[born4soccer09145]

not bad for an 8 year old lol

[bookkeeper57]

Stunning at any age.

[bhinderbinder]

These musicians have captured Mozart's brightness ... If as you say it was written for children, it certainly is magical enough to do so. And of course, we hear Mozart smiling, which is why I love him so much!

[orphan567]

it would have to be quite a prodigious child to play this on the violin .... this piece is difficult (at least for children)

[benigerb]

This music is absolutely poignant and touching... it has already become one of my favourites, I don't care if it sounds simple or if he wrote it when he was just 8 (which makes it even more wondrous, honestly...) this sonata saved my day, honestly: whenever desperation creeps upon me, Mozart is able to save me - that's the greatest gift music can bestow upon us, in my humble opinion.

[AndrewUhe]

Thanks to Ms. Podger Mr. Cooper for providing us with such a sensitive recording.

[vonkvetch]

Wow! It's mindblowing to think that Mozart composed this at aged 8 or younger. Had I learned he'd composed this at age 12 I still would have been stunned! Thanks for posting this video.

[pianofolle]

this is such a sweet piece of music!!!

and i love it just because it's not a masterpiece!

mozart's talent is here like a little gem slowly opening

[Zootallure]

@pianofolle Gems don't open...

[pianofolle]

@Zootallure I meant 'bud' (in botanics). Sorry for the mistake, I was misled by the similarity with the Italian word ('gemma' in it. is both 'gem' and 'bud'). Now I realize how awkward it must sound...

[turtlecutches]

i love this piece of music it just amazes me mozart was able to make something like this so young.

[orphan567]

all due credit, of course, to Leopold Mozart, the unrecognized talent behind his son

I would like to say to Steven7004. don't be too critical. What could you do when you were 6~8 years old? Probably even not be able to read music, let it alone composing. If Mozart is not a genius, then there is no genius in this world.

[Stevenup7004]

No no, I love this piece, I listen to it all the time, but, I just don't like all the repeats near the end, my opinion, I'm judging it as a piece of music, regardless of who composed it. I didn't say that Mozart wasn't a genius, and for his age, this is so amazing and beautiful that I can't even describe it in words. It brings tears to my eyes.

[xCherrymistx]

the fact that he composed this at 6-8 is crazy. (in a good way!) when i first heard it i thought he would be at least 10 years older!

[Stevenup7004]

The end is way too repetitive, it was lovely after the first repeat, but then it just got boring and annoying =l..

[marshmallowfool]

Love this

Anyone know where i get the sheet music for piano and violin?

[tranelarod]

IMSLP

[7874869]

mozart has to be by far the best composer in history . he was a genus! my friends can't stand classical music but i don't know why when its like listening music from heaven

[kamisweetie]

i know tell me about it they 'r like kamie this is boring ill be like am i in bazarow world whats wrong with it its beautifull its amzing i love it no no i adore it xD

[sergeyyak]

It is unfair to say that Mozart was the best, there are many other composer greatest as Mozart

[7874869]

but there is something about mozart that i like more than other composers. it is true that there r other composers out there that r great , but Mozart just grabs my attention

[mAieE2]

feel relax

[uptilthesky]

This little piece is so addictive, I can't stop listening to it!

[AAMLfan]

I honestly love the Adante. What a thoroughly delightful piece.

[AAMLfan]

He composed THIS at 6-8 years old?

I know it's true but it's so hard to even grasp that that could happen. Just incredible...

[RachelPortman]

ha una scrittura clavicembalistica... più che fortistica

[HARMONICO101]

Harpsichord muisc and fortepiano music were practically one in the same in the early-mid classical era.

I personally think the arpeggiated bass is far better suited to the fortepiano than the harpsichord.

[pianofolle]

@RachelPortman deducibile da cosa?

[RachelPortman]

migliore con il cembalo :) no il FORTEPIANO

[HARMONICO101]

This published piece could legitimately be played on either a harpsichord or fortepiano.

[bookkeeper57]

Instant humility: written by boy who was 6-8 years old. It must have been hard for Leopold to keep up with this kid's output.

[yottaparsec]

Sounds like a piece by Johann Schobert!

[Pikachu15151]

Great piece, but one thing bothers me about that era... Why did even the children wear wigs? It makes them look much older..

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

:>

it's the aesthetics of the period... :-)

they find it fashionable and even beautiful... :->

[Impalamark64]

The Mozart family didn't own a fortepiano during the early years of Wolfgang's life. This early piece, and all the others like it from the same period, were written and played on a harpsichord. Check out the Complete Mozart Edition, with a version of this with Gerard Poulet, violin and Blandine Verlet, harpsichord. A much brighter sound.

[HARMONICO101]

This piece was not specifically written for harpsichord or piano becuase it was going to be published for the public. It's quite legitimate to play them on either instrument.

[tegid699]

Impalamark64 can I pick your brain? I want to know which Mozart piece Beethoven copied for his Ode to Joy, I heard it on the radio a while back and not recall what it was called, I know it was a string piece and it was in a minor key. I know it exists but no one else seems to know

[pianofolle]

@Impalamark64 In a historical disquisition it might be interesting to know on which instrument this piece was played. But musically I could care less about what is "legitimate" or not and focus on the only aesthetical sensible value: the beauty of the final effect

[Edis]

i love him :))

[abandwithoutaname]

he was 6 when he wrote this!!!!!!! woooooooooow i suck at music compared to him!

[officialnut]

everybody does, lol!

[Birdthebirdistheword]

abandwithoutaname me To lol I Am a peasant compared to mozart

[AAMLfan]

We all do. LOL

[bartmeijer1954]

@abandwithoutaname Don't we all!

[outoftunefiddler]

@abandwithoutaname we ALL suck compared to Moz'!!!!

[demonvampireprincess]

i wonder what his iq was

[damdarch]

i can't believe he was 6 when he wrote this

[allanyip]

He was a genius!
