Kefra plays Mozart's Turkish March (Rondo Alla Turca)

The Rondo Alla Turca is the final movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A. It's probably my favorite song to play, although the sixteenth note runs in the B section always trip me up. This recording demonstrates that problem pretty well :-(

Once again, the sound synching is slightly off, but this is raw, unedited video. Hence all the mistakes. Enjoy!

1.51 lol

[Kefra]

I know it's a bad performance. I am not a pianist; I took lessons 10 years ago. I remember nothing. Yes, some passages and dynamics are sloppy; the errors at 1:03 and 1:51 are jarring.

I don't own a piano at home. I am totally self-taught and get to practice very rarely. So I'm proud of this song. Yes, it's rough.

But would any of you have taken up the piano on your own, and stuck with it to learn a song like this half-decently, like me? Think about that before you insult me, please.

You're not supposed to hold with your left hand on the bottom of the first page. Holding on that section makes the song sound a bit messy.

[Kefra]

I'm guessing you mean the sustain pedal I use? I've seen two arrangements, one with a pedal marking in that spot, and one without. My personal preference is for a one-beat sustain whenever the chord arpeggio is in the left hand, but everyone's entitled to their opinion. Thanks for the input.

i don`t want to be rude but can you comment in a more polite way?I guess you are good in playing piano and maybe u r a professional but that doesn`t mean you can comment in a harsh manner.

he is just playing and don`t expect everyone who can play that piece of music can understand that fully.He has at least the talent.If you are in his place...and being insult then how do you feel?

don`t need to be proud
