From the Gulda Mozart sonata cycle that was rediscovered on tapes - the sound quality isn't perfect, there's some distortion, but the performances - man, they're amazing. My favorite performance of this sonata, easily.

  • Shame he plays the latter part twice, just doesn't work.the dark climax at the end should be final imo. You can't just end like that with all that energy and then just pick it up again and restart it like nothing happened. In fact there is no way to repeat the second half in a meaningful way after that climax.

    For me its the same for all the Scarlatti sonatas with repeating sections, where invariably there is a darker second section, which for me is the ultimatum of the piece and non repeatable

  • @tarquin161234 I agree, the development repeat has actually fallen out of favor with many performers again - thankfully.

  • @tarquin161234 You might be right, but it's still a very modern point of view. If you compare several pieces from this time (the most impressive example would be the W. A. Mozart - Fantasie in C- Moll KV. 47) ,you'll find always bright part that's contrasting these dark parts. It's all about perfect balance, in harmony as in structure.

  • :) i'm smiling

  • Bravo~~!! Brava.~!! :D

  • @tarquin161234 Maybe you're a dedicated follower of fashion.

  • 3:56 - 4:15 absolutely stunning and amazing, this sequence influenced many great composers after him listen for example to beethovens moonligh sonata (especially the 3rd mvt.) and compare it to this,

    how he plays with the bass and the rhythm , it deserves totally the attribute "maestoso"

    seems like mozarts pool of ideas was of infinite size

    only bach and mb handel can mess with him in an overall comparison

  • so beautiful and incredible 

  • @tarquin161234 You're welcome.

  • @fontinau I think it might just be what you're used to. As I said I am used to the second section being played once, and maybe that's why it feels right that way.

    Thank you for shedding light on this matter with your profound and perceptive comment.

  • @tarquin161234 Clearly, Mozart didn't know what he was doing.

  • Que buena música!! .
