Please see the final segment of mvt 3 in the video responses. This had to be cut along with other trimmings because of the 10 minute limit per upload.
In this submission I am interpreting this fantastic suite, Sonata 1 K545 by Mozart, in perhaps a lot different manner than he originally intended, but I have a feeling that he would not be too hard on me for doing that, under the circumstances. I hope you agree.
Though I am not familiar with the original theme, I have interpreted it to suit a little message I want it to portray with it, as, the present and the future state of our planet.
Movement 1, might represent the turmoil; the hurricane of confusion and distress, being suffered by millions in war zones; the bombs and rockets exploding, and the terrified people running from the mayhem and violence, clutching their babies and loved ones, trying, without hope, to escape to find peace and stability.
Movement 2, in contrast, might represent the life that most of the rest of us live, with calm and plenty; children making and sharing music, playing in the garden or the park with their pets and parents, or just having fun with their friends.
Movement 3 might represent all of us children, regardless of where or who we are, growing to adulthood and running all over the place trying desperately to clean up the mess that all of the fools; the insane and greedy, past and present dictators and presidents; the warmongers and fanatics have spent so much time and money and effort bestowing upon us as their legacy.
Well, however you might like to interpret them, I hope you enjoy my effort.

Additional info.
Because this piece is being interpreted as it is, it might be worth explaining that I have emphasised the heavier cords in the first movement to represent the bombs and rockets of war; the rapid sequences to represent the associated fear and frantic attempts to escape; the slower and more subdued sections to represent the short periods of calm between attacks.
With the second movement I tried to capture a calm and pristine environment, but think I still played it a little too fast.
With the third movement I tried to portray a kind of panic, where people (of the future - the present children, like me) are running all over the place trying to stop the creeping destruction of global warming and environmental decay, while at the same time trying to rebuild the devastated areas and clean up the enormous mess that will be left for us to contend with.
When I discussed this all with my Dad initially he suggested I write a short composition, detailing as best I could how what is happening in our world today is effecting me. I did and then he helped me to prepare it in a condensed script that could accompany the music that I had chosen for my message. I practiced the three movements trying hard to include the emotions involved, and though perhaps not perfect (a few slips here and there too) I feel that I managed to get it mostly as I wanted it.
All rather a novel approach to Mozart's fabulous suite I agree, but it seemed to fit my main concerns and I feel sure that the Spirit of Mozart - if it is looking down on me - will not be offended.. I hope so..

Is this script written by you, or you recite it by heart?

Hello everyone, I have received several private notes (and thanks for those) relating to the obvious errors in tempo and rhythm in my performance here.. Allow me to clarify a little why that is the case: I wasn't so much concerned about the original theme when I set out on this project as I was with my personal inner emotions, which I wanted to capture if I could. (Please see description). Later I will work on this suite again and will try to get it as Mozart intended it to be.

Thanks J for your suggestion, but to do that is to become just another ostrich with my head buried in the sand. That will not make the problems we all face go away.
