Mozart - piano sonata no. 14 in C minor KV 457 (1/3) [by Vadim Chaimovich]

Mozart - piano sonata no. 14 in C minor KV 457.
Movement 1. MOLTO ALLEGRO
pf. Vadim Chaimovich

Relation to Beethoven's "Pathétique"

Of this sonata Köchel said "Without question this is the most important of all Mozart's pianoforte sonatas. Surpassing all the others by reason of the fire and passion which, to its last note, breathe through it, it foreshadows the pianoforte sonata, as it was destined to become in the hands of Beethoven."

Indeed, Mozart's sonata feels in several ways prophetic of Beethoven's great C minor sonata Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, "Pathétique" (which it predates by roughly fifteen years), and both works share a similar overall plan. Listeners will note that Mozart's theme in his spacious second movement is remarkably similar to that which Beethoven used in his own "Adagio cantabile" second movement.

"O lovely Art, in how many grey hours,

When life's fierce orbit ensnared me,

Have you kindled my heart to warm love,

Carried me away into a better world!" Franz von Schober

For me this seems to be impossible for a man to play the piano this way.Super.I can not find the words.

@KlassikFan2007 I couldn’t no help notice he was not staring at his left hand… that I didn’t not notice he was not staring at his right hand either … he is definitely right handed

[unclejuniorsoprano]

Your playing of this sonata is simply incredible. I am VERY impressed with everything. Mozart is incredibly hard to play at this level. You play it brilliantly!

@iateyourgranny EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT.....WTH IS THIS??

[AlCapwnable]

It looks like he is wearing white gloves, but if you look in the reflection of the piano, he isn't :P

@katieroxtheearth111 don't worry i had the same feelings like you but this piece is basically consisting of two parts

learning this piece is pretty simple

but to practise the ddetails and every artistic aspects make this piece pretty difficult^^
