everyone who say "mozart is idiot" is idiot

@mellowords it also makes him look really gay

@mellowords Whoever said that is an idiot. I think some pianists lose the face expression control while playing. Look at Trifonov (or anybody from the last chopin competition), they seem crazy. Look Michelangeli, he doesn't move or grimace (is that right? I'm not english) and I think he strive for that. If you look at his face his eyebrows and mouth (and moustache, when he had them) don't stop moving, and I think he can't prevent that.
Anyway, pogorelich is a god, and this sonata is incredible
-
quite romantic playing...
-
Why does he change the tempo after every bar?
-
@mellowords I completely agree with you. Making great music doesn't depend on facial expression, but alot of the time, the musician is compelled to express themselves outwardly, in some way. But look at Pierre Boulez when he conducts orchestras.. almost no expression from him, yet the symphony is full of life.

A perfectionist.

@myjw100 I understand what you are saying, but, unfortunately, you were unable to understand what I was really saying, which is "So Sad" too.

@chiehwenwang So sad. You just don't get it. Who cares what the pianist is doing other that playing. Great music is written for listening - even with your eyes closed, maybe especially with your eyes closed if seeing a behavior is distracting. To tell someone they need more practice because they don't "grimace" is...like I said - So Sad
-
Andante Grazioso???.........
@chiehwenwang I must disagree with you, as a student of piano performance...there are far too many enormously skilled pianists that do not make such a flamboyant display during their incredibly expressive performances that I refuse to believe that those movements are indication of greatness. It is quite absurd (and laughable to any dedicated musician) that you would consider playing very well while "grimacing" to be the sign of true mastery of an instrument. Sound alone proves mastery.
