Very nice, carefully executed performance! Shame that the last 25 seconds or so is missing... just over the youtube limit. Far and away the best performance here.

thanks for your comment.  I feel the same way about this performance. You're right - it didn't quite fit.

Is this Kontarsky? It's not Henck...

[NewMusicXX]

Patricia Von Blumroder is the pianist

Who else came here from pissing around on Wikipedia?

Obviously this music is not as popular as Mozarts now. I find an alarming tragedy and mysticism in this piece. I love Mozarts music but all music at one point has been contemporary. Salieri, et al criticized Mozarts music for being out of norm. Mozart was introducing Romanticism to the world. I respect Mandelbluetens opinion even though I disagree. Music is sound that communicates that which cannot be spoken; this music (and Mozart's) do just that for me. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Watch and learn, this is how you earn most royalties for a performance :-)
