As a non violinist, I always noticed and loved how this middle section is never played what is normally conceived to be Mozartian - elegant, never raw edged. Thanks for sharing your insight, Stefan.
It would be silly to pull wool over our own eyes and ignore the composer's perception of his own music as he was writing it. It's not about "cancelling," but understanding the composer's intent. We're incredibly blessed to have great artists like Stefan on this channel sharing their insight into the art form!
Jackiw is not denouncing Mozart. This is world history and how it affects one's interpretation. Jackiw is giving an excellent lesson in how to make artistic decisions that don't come solely from the artist but also from what we know about the piece AND the time it was written. Also, he is a really great person and extraordinary musician - I had the honor to share the stage with him last year and speak backstage.
I don't know why my previous comments got deleted, but here we go again. To elaborate on my other comment to you: By calling Mozarts writing of these passages cultural appropriation, to later on say that Mozarts intentions for the passages was for the worse, and that "we" (him) doesn't agree with those intentions, is Jackiw not denouncing him? If so, what would you say he was doing there? How was any of that about giving us interpretive tools? How was it anything other than taking a moral stance against Mozart? @@Violinna
This is the best video I've seen this year. You've also captured 5hrs worth of info in 5 mins. YT has been infested with videos that deliver a 10-second message that take 20 mins to deliver, cringy facial over-reaction thumbnails, and general clickbait. Good on you for keeping integrity and awesome subject choice.
The video started well then before I knew it, I was being "Gen-Z'd" with lessons about Mozart's fetish cultural misappropriation. Were you actually telling players to tone down the "Turkishness" of the piece to make it more palatable?

>>"Mozart's Turkish and Romani caricatures border on fetishization" 1. This comment, taken from the description), borders on sanctimonious idiocy. 2. There are no caricatures of anything Turkish or Romani in this concerto. 3. Regarding Stefan's suggestion Mozart messes up because the solo theme atop the Turkish rhythm is actually Romani, is there evidence that Mozart thought the theme was Turkish? Why shouldn't he have simply delighted in upping the exoticism by mixing the two cultures?

Why more or less denounce Mozarts intentions, yet at the same time honour them? It seems phony, to be honest.

@@Violinnathat is so cool that you played with him. Do you have any of your own videos posted?
Thanks for downloading!

You’re right on the money. A lot of UA-cam videos are a complete waste of time.
Interestingly enough, Jan Sobieski was fluent in Turkish and loved Turkish culture.
And you make scrinchy and screechy sounds

Please don’t cancel Mozart.

Imagine a world when musicians even think about cancelling Mozart!
