This pulchritudinous piece’s beauty lies in its simplicity and elegance, with a captivating melody that effortlessly captivates listeners. The delicate interplay between the right and left hands creates a sense of balance and harmony, while the emotional depth of the music allows for personal interpretation and connection.
What a wonderful rendition of this chastely und homely piece. Sophisticated, elaborated, sober. Actually quite modern. Phrasing (especially of the endings of the phrases) is perfectly framed. Maybe a little bit to long for my taste. But consequent and convincing. Emphasis levels are gradually weighted. (Which is difficult with this piece. Dynamics are composed in relation to the lute stops which had been in use on the harpsichords in these days) pp through slow keys and f through mass (playing with the arm and bladebone) and fast keys. She knows how to do that.
It would not have occurred to me to employ the words "chastity" or "homely" in connection with W.A.M. or his compositions, but I'd say that the rest of your comments are very erudite and seem to be pretty much on point. Good post.
for the one complaining about rubato read what Mozart said himself in a letter to his father "In 1777, Mozart visited Heir Stein in Ausburg (1). According to Mozart, " Stein had stated that no-one has ever played his Piano Forte as well as I have, and, besides, I always keep correct time. They are all wondering about that. They simply can’t believe that you can play a Tempo rubato in an Adagio, and the left hand knows nothing about it but goes on playing in strict time. As far as they know, the left hand always follows the right"
Staccatos and grace notes are often added by editors, not included by the composer. This is especially true of music written before the Romantic period.
When I was playing this, I thought it followed the 1st movement, in the key of G. I'm slugging along, thinking, "Man, this sounds funky." Oh, well. That's what separates the pros from the Joes!
She may not be playing perfectly (according to some of the comments on this video), but she plays much better than me. I think this is pretty much perfection compared to my playing! :-)
Can someone explain me why is this G major instead of C major? There are no accidentals which means it could be either C major or A minor but since C is the prominent tone in the opening I thought it is C major......
Jaeri Suh the first movement of this work is in G major, this is the second movement. Works such as sonatas and symphonies are just named after the key of the first moment
Yeah, actually this is written in C, the first movement is In G. And just as the person above me said, sonatas are named after the first movement usually.
Mozart sometimes moves to the sub dominant or dominant key on his second movement. He likes to go to the parallel minor key within the movements also. The 1st and 3rd movements are always in the stated key of the sonata.

Very few play Mozart like Ms Uchida does

STOP INTERRUPTING MY PLAYLIST WITH YOUR ADS, YOU TUBE!

+Dana Scheider Yes, i agree. Back then, i dont think grace notes were even invented, and Ms. Uchida didnt really played the notes like staccatos.
Beautiful
This is great!
amazing!
Strength of joyance
Well done!!!

I would disagree. A little rubato at the end of the phrase is entirely permissable in Classical period music, especially a Mozart slow movement.
whoa, this is GOOD!
+enter a name here lol, "enter a name here" is your name OMG :P

great playing (y)
Mozart himself said that using rubato in him pieces are acceptable...

Mozart's Requiem
just add adblock
a tad too much rubato - modern perfomers read Romantic interpretaions into all pre-Romantic composer including Bach -
@DrRock This video is a case in point - and does exist
