As always, thank you so much for watching, and thank you to all of you that leave comments.
Not only a very skikful pianist but a complete musician, open-minded, curious, intelligent and creative. Best regards 🙏
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free.

John 3:16😊❤❤
She's quite beautiful, too
beautifully done, as usual! You fooled me in the opening test and I thought the only genuine Mozart piece was number 3, which You wrote!! Proves you got it right 110%.
I also eliminated number 2 for exactly the reason you said-it sounded "too baroque" for Mozart😁
Thank you!! Yes - when I first heard that fugue I thought the same…
I, on the other hand, thought "it's going to be the one that DOESN'T sound like Mozart" so I guessed correctly
I concur with your comment!
Me too. I thought it was 3.
Exactly 👌
i think your videos contribute a lot to classical musicians starting to improvise again.
Hopefully…!
Was Motzart historically in some ways a classical “jazz” musician that wrote some of those impromptu compositions on paper? Basically having a type of arpeggio pattern bank that was accessed “on the fly” with the right hand while playing a chord bass on the left?
@@NahreSol You have certainly inspired my playing. Classical background here thinking like I'm "playing on the corners" improvising this way.
@@THE_ONLY_GOD Mozart was a known improviser. In fact, in the concerto form he developed, he included a section towards the end of movements called cadenzas. Most soloists today perform pre-composed cadenzas but back in Mozart's time soloists were expected to improvise.
@@hoot2416 Ah, so basically Motzart is historically credited with inventing jazz. Can add that to the list.
The last movement of his Jupiter symphony is one of his most impressive works contrapuntally
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, but the most impressive part is mostly the coda. The 40th is my favourite
Contrapuntally*
@@henrykwieniawski7233 Thank you I knew I spelled it wrong lol
@@laurenth7187 the 40th is my favorite of his, also.
For an uneducated fan of classical music this is like one of those Bob Ross videos where he starts painting and then suddenly magic happens and you see the final outcome and it inspires you to create something, great work!
It also will lead the viewer down many wrong paths.

Brilliant composition and analysis! I especially appreciate the 'maybe' moments because it really brings detail to the thought process of this insightful composition rather than just the result.
Thank you!!!

The transformative power you show in such a short composition is incredible

(Totally disregarding age) I feel like a middle-schooler trying to take a college-level course. Yet, I absolutely love this analysis, presentation, and the “drinking from a firehose” music theory. And, of course, I adore Mozart’s music as well. Dear Professor, you have beginners in your audience who are learning by immersion. These videos are thrilling! (I will not confess how many times I paused and/or backed up the video to take notes). I wish I had learned this language earlier in life. You are a wonderful instructor. Thank you! Also, for being kindergarten literate in music, I recognized immediately that the second piece was the original Mozart…perhaps because I have listened to Mozart so much.
Having seen most of, if not all, of you're "How To Sound like" Series I enjoyed this one the most!
The way you show your process in a very articulate yet fun way is very entertaining and helpful at the same time, I'm excited to see what you'll create next :)
Thank you so much!!
1:27 HAHA Gould is such a nutter!! what a ledge :DDD
That was very insightful! I've always been a fan of your arrangements (I love the Liszt and Bach ones). But since this series is about getting each composer's various trademark styles (or clichės?), in this case, 1st movements of Mozart sonatas, I do have a few things in mind about this particular one, and do correct me if I get some things wrong (and please pardon my English):
1. For second themes, Mozart very often goes to the dominant key for sonatas written in major, and the relative major for sonatas written in minor. The relative minor 2nd theme sounded like a different composer, like an early Beethoven or maybe Haydn.
2. Mozart's textures are usually very thin and transparent. His melodies are normally very straightforward except for transitions between themes where the scales or arpeggios are usually found, unless if the theme is based upon scales or arpeggios. Those are not normally sprinkled around it.
3. Mozart often has symmetrical phrasing of 4 or 8 bars per melody. When he deviates from that, like 3, 5 or 6 bar phrases, it's usually very intentional, and those intentions are usually very clear that they almost never sound jarring.
4. He usually has very clear cadential endings. Themes almost always close off neatly, with exposition endings almost sounding like the actual end of the piece.
Your Mozartian Star Sprangled Banner at the 3 excerpts game was a lot closer to Mozart than the end product for Happy Birthday that it actually fooled me lol.
It's so amazing how insightful these kind of videos are. Really interesting how the composers thought about writing music.
Keep up the great work Nahre! 😁
Many thank you’s!
Agreed! So clever and really love this one.
These videos are soooo well made and I love everything about the style of your content, not to mention your piano playing and composition that makes these videos as wonderful as they are!!
Watching you talk about character in his pieces really helps me understand how to approach playing his music with better interpretations, thanks!
You've done a very good job! It's great how you don't just make general asumptions about how composers sound but you go into depth studying the key elements of their music.
I love this series! It's fascinating how you manage to capture the essence of all the composers.
Absolutely brilliant! I learned so much with all the work you put into the musical hints. Thank you!
The best series on UA-cam! So informative and entertaining, and the end result is great as usual! Well done!
I love the ways in which you are exploring music and making it so interesting and entertaining! Thank you!
I love your different characterizations of Mozart's music! Beautiful composition and so much information to absorb. Thank you!
your videos have such a high quality youre my favorite piano channel even if i personally dont know that much about classical music and piano stuff
Oh my gosh you finally did it! Thank you Nahre! I've been wanting to see you delve into Mozart's composing style. It really helps me as a pianist learning how to compose. This video was really informative, so again, thank you very much! ^^
I love it when you do these❣️ Happy Birthday Nahre.💞💓
Very beautiful video. I really enjoy your communication style and the conviction of your exploration and work through your effort at thorough understanding of fundamental principles in music. This one is going in my favorites.
Omg I just assumed you already covered Mozart in this series. Love these birthday composer videos as a pianist who is woefully undereducated in terms of theory.
I almost assumed I already covered him too 😅
I am not very musically savvy but I am very fond of classical and your videos are incredible. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to put these together.
This is so insightful and helpful! Thank you!
Honestly been waiting for this!
Oh and your final composition is just lovely.. Very well done! I’m not a huge fan of the classical era, but that one really made me smile.
Im so glad to find your channel, composer. Watching your videos before bed makes me feel nice and cozy. im just a classical guitarist but so in love with the piano...
Thank you for your work Nahre Sol, you find always the accuracy of the style of composers with your own interpretation and imagination. Very very nice. Thanks. 🎶🎹
Thank you for this wonderful mini-series explaining various techniques, styles, and methodologies that each composer was often noted for. As a lay person to music theory, it was fun watching you explain/teach the basic concepts.
you are so knowledgeable and articulate. really magical work here. thanks!
This was one of my requests!
Thanks Nahre Sol!
Thank you back! Yes… finally…after many requests 😅
Really nice one, great job on the editing!
You have one of the best musical education channel (at least composition-wise) keep the good work, thank you.
This was marvellous! 🎶
I love the video, really interesting. Henle verlag created a tradition of scores and urtext music. Congratulations for the sponsor!!
I love the theme and variations in A major, it's one of my favorite pieces of all time.
12:36 I love the harmony. I want to play or compose something that brings out this harmony.
I swear, the composer imitaiton series never fails to impress how close they get to the sound of the original composer
It's pretty usual harmonic sequence, especially common in baroque music but you can definitely still find it quite often in classical music
You did great with this, seriously...I even thought your 3rd example in the Mozart game was Mozart, it just has that character, loved the video!
The 9-8 suspension section transports me back to my youth, discovering Mozart's music and wanting to learn more about classical composition. I love your videos and especially this series. Thanks!
That was really enjoyable. Brava!
🌼
Amazing Video Nahre, Nice to meet you! I Will buy your next book soon (Intermediate/Advanced Piano Exercises
I, too, tho't the 3rd arrangement was Mozart! This video is really capital! I enjoyed watching what you've done; it's evident how much you've accomplished--I'm happy for you. How cool to be able to think in music language like you do! You have my admiration!
I love watching your videos. What a gift you possess.
Wow wow wow! What a brilliant video you have created. Theory was never my forte in college, but I really appreciate it and your analysis of Mozart's style. It is clear you love what you do and you are amazing at it. Keep up the wonderful content.
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!
Talk about making something almost infinitely complex look so effortless!! To have taken the trouble to analyse the originals and get the essence of what makes Mozart, Mozart, must have been a significant undertaking - but then we were treated to all the interim trial and error attempts which were every bit as interesting as the final product - and all characterised with the little friendly captions as much to demonstrate Nahre's own stream of conscience as to guide us!😄👍.
I loved how the notion of the call and response was related to opera - I've been playing those sonatas for 30 years as very much an amateur and I guess all that time busy trying to achieve perfect evenness and legato, has meant the notion of the "two voices" has never struck me! Not that I feel a lummox now - ANYONE'S going to against Nahre's talent 😄
Most of all though, I loved that it is possible to be presented very, very sophisticated material in such a highly consumable and enjoyable way yet which is not dumbed down.
Truly high quality content, I am delighted to have discovered this channel!
PS, to the three "test" pieces asking which were Mozart, my answers were no, not sure and no😏
Very good. I enjoyed listening it. You really captured Mozart's style
Absolutely stunningly beautiful, great job. Bravo !!!!
Been waiting for this!!
😄
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
outstanding! you're very talented, a pleasure to watch and listen
You're so clever and inspiring 😍😍 Thank you for your videos
Your music reading is impressive.
You know how to capture the emotions and symbolism of mozart's music and explain this with great ease and pedagogy.
You are doing a remarkable work !
I'm a Mozart junkie, and you definitely captured his spirit!
Amazing video.. I'm happy that I found your channel 😊
Even I'm more into jazz and funky stuff and I sometimes can't keep up with your speed it's perfect to watch, your enthusiasm is contagious and your playing is always ear candy 😊 thanks therefore
I’m new to her videos but I love the little text blurbs as she plays, that have both entertaining but also knowledgeable information of what she’s doing in terms of theory as she improvises. It’s helpful to see how the theory I know is getting used even as she’s just conjuring ideas, and of course as well in the final product
Thank you ! Been waiting that one for a while 😄
😃
Entertaining and informative. I am learning so much. Thank you.
Very clever. Love it.
Thank you so much for this series. I've been pretty good at being able to recognize various composers and styles but not *why* they sound like them. This has been really educational and has given me words for what I am hearing.
loved it. More please
Love this video and inspired by how you are able to analyze classical composers and non classical genres. I think a cool video would be on how you actually take a composer and analyze their distinct style across their body of work.
You're an incredible talent :D
It was wonderful watching you work.
Amazing video! Amazing composition. You're very good!
My ears were confused but pleased at the same time. Is all about the little details and I was really amazed with the analysis and the construction of the piece. Superb!
Excellent video thanks
Thanks so much! This is so helpful to me as a beginner pianist who is trying to appreciate the pieces I play and the music I’m exposed to
Brilliant. You’re so good!
Patting myself on the shoulder for picking out the real Mozart 😌 The middle one had a delicate and real narrative to it to my ear.
Thank you so mucho for the great composition lesson.
Wow as an accordion student there’s so much to learn here thank you would you ever do a series elaborating on all these concepts in this “how to sound like” series ?
So amazing content and analysis just as fans of Nahre can always count on cuz she's so good a delivering quality work.
12:37 especially reminds me of the recapitulation in the first movement of his Sonata No. 8. If I tried this I would've included more lengthy/sparkly runs, but regardless the composition is amazing!!
Thank you! Great note!
Nahre: *Plays absolutely beautiful lines*
Also Nahre: NOT QUITE!
Thanks a lot ! So much info, so much talent, the format is perfect. What's missing is a 2nd and a 3rd movement :)
You're creation is sooo good!!!
SOLID VIDEO. THANKS NAHRE
Thank you!!!
You are such an inspiration, beautiful video as always! It's really such a shame that classical music teachers don't encourage this kind of composition/improvisation. Or maybe they do now, mine certainly didn't, but luckily your videos are truly so inspiring in this sense!
Thank you!!
That was so enjoyable! I think you nailed it. It took some twists and turns I wasn’t expecting at all. I think Mozart would have been impressed. I certainly was. Brava!👏👏👏👏
Just flippin' brilliant.👏
You are the unique piano player as far as I know. No one able to compose music in such brilliant manner in different styles as you do. I believe you could compose your own music. Best wishes from Almaty, Kazakhstan!
Wowie wow wow.
Randomly got recommended this, I don't know much about music theory but I find that almost all terms were easy to grasp with all the great examples!! I really enjoyed this video!!
i like that dialog interpretation at the end
Hi. Beautiful! You have made an effort. Fantastic arrangement. Thanks :)
That’s great, thanks!
Just wanted to say that your pronunciation of German words is really impressive for a non native speaker
love this insight!
Well done! Brilliant!
I admire your knowledge, talent, technical ability, and enthusiasm so much. Very inspiring.
I’m not at all on this level. I thought you nailed it, so much so that it blew my mind because first of all, I never thought an arrangement of Happy Birthday could nearly bring me to tears, and second of all, if someone played me that and said it was a Mozart arrangement, I would believe it without question.
I'm an engineer, I play a little guitar, I don't play piano. Through your videos I've been learning and understanding much about piano, and music in general. It helps me a great deal in appreciating music. Thanks a lot.
My favorite music youtuber and my favorite classical composer on the same video. Thanks!
Hey Nahre. I don’t know much about music theory, but your videos really fascinate me! Thank you
This was absolutely fascinating!
Thank you!!
This is brilliant. The last movement had more hints of later composers-perhaps Schubert?-than Mozart. It sounded a little more ruminative and Impressionistic than classical.
Thank you!
I agree!! 🎉
Schubert is gonna be a challenging one. He's too good to reverse engineer. But I'd be amazed to see it done.
Fun video and I learned lots!
Excerpt number 3 seemed the most Mozartean so I correctly guessed that that one was yours. As always, you did an amazing job analyzing and mimicking all the techniques and tropes, though it sounded “too perfect” and that gave it away. Wonderful video, thanks! Really happy to see you continue this series.
it's been a gripping 13 minutes journey. thank you!
