  • Follow along with the score. The dissonant intro is highly logical. The motific integration is total--there is nothing "coming at you out of the blue". Perhaps you don't like dissonance? That doesn't make one of the greatest composers in history illogical. ;) It's a shame Mozart felt he could only experiment like this in an introduction. What would Mozart have written if he was free to discard tonality?

  • The DSCH motif appears in the introduction. I guess someone is trying to be Dmitri Shostakovich.

  • 1:10 Awkward

    1:29 There it is again

    

  • That intro nearly moved me to tears.

  • It's important to remember that dissonant does not necessarily mean jangling or unpleasant. For example, the interval of a fourth is often considered dissonant according to traditional practice; but playing a fourth on the piano doesn't make everyone the room think,"Oh, that sounds really discordant."

  • you can't help but smile

  • I used to play this piece, until I took an arrow in the knee.

  • For one minute and 40 seconds Mozart was transported to the 20th century...

  • I Love the Allegro part....Its so fun to play!!!!...i got a violin hickey from practicing this movement so many times!!!...i've only been playing for 3 years and im a freshman this year so its a little hard to understand all of the comments..haha:D

  • @TCharlieA Music is an art and a science. U can't list.

  • Classical music listed by greatness:

    1. Everything by Bach

    2. This song

    3. Everything else

  • @achan1058 Well, there you go... Isn't it also true that the Tristan chord is to be found somewhere in the Hammerklavier sonata - in transposed form I think - but anyway, interesting by-the-bys...
