  • no...it's in tune...that's what a fortepiano sounds like...gentle and dry...forget what a Steinway sounds like, and listen again...

  • I see that Mozart is the cause of bitter interpretation's-fights... ;)

    One needs to be very couragous to play the so-known Mozart in un-classical way (i.e. fluent sometimes besides much rubato), and Robert Hill is couragous, no doubt. But also professional and a real musician. Bravo.

  • Wow, this is surprisingly really beautiful. Never thought I'd like the sound of a fortepiano.

  • Great. Now if you can only get the sneezer at the end and put him in classical music jail.

  • I can't find the 1st movement of this version :S

  • It might be using classical pitch, as in A4 = 430hz (i don't remember the exact pitch) . In Modern concert pitch is A4 is 440hz . The instrument here is intune relative to the older pitch. I THINK!

  • Love the tune of the piano - makes me think this is how it sounded to Mozart back then

  • Really beautiful performance, thank you for posting this.

    We are no longer 18th century people,so it may be not wise to cling to classical way of playing.

  • thank you for this - youtube needs more fortepiano music ;)

  • Esta música es MARAVILLOSA!!!

  • @EscargoTouChaud

    Constanze must have been happy washing the dishes!

  • The fortepiano sounds pretty nice if you know how to play it like the person in this video.
