I think it is not written but I am the glassharmonica player on this recording taken on my CD published on Naxos (Music for glassharmonica - Thomas Bloch / glassharmonica - Philippe Bernold / flute; Maurice Bourgue / oboe - Jean Sulem / viola - Xavier Gagnepain / cello).
Yes, it's your recording! I don't put the performers name in description because UA-cam randomly blocks videos because of certain unpredictable names... But this time it looks like I even linked the wrong original video from which I took the audio! Luckily the UA-cam system automatically recognized the recording for copyright reasons, but I've also just fixed the link with the correct one. Thank you for pointing this, and I hope you liked this video!
Lovely! Thank you. I was just thinking that Mozart didn t make it easy for the glass harmonica! Like : ok you want a piece for the glass harmonica, well here it is, handle with it now!
Hey, man! First of all, great performance. Congratulations, it's really good. Second, I'd like to ask your professional opinion on something: do you think this is a well written music for your instrument. As I listened, I got the feeling that it'd be more suited for the piano. I mean, do you think this sounds ok? I feel like he composed this on the piano and just wrote harmonica where it's played. I really would like to know your take on this. I think this is a great piece of music, but I don't think it sounds well on the harmonica. What's your professional opinion?
Has anyone noticed that the glass harmonica seems to be an octave higher in this recording compared many (but not all) other recordings? I wonder if that was intentional, and if there are sources that tell us which octave this piece was meant to be played in
@@CelloCircle It's the Glass Harmonica part which I think is being played an Octave higher as the C4 in that part sounds as C5. You can actually play it on Piano & it'll sound as written.
Rondo is being played way to fast here, making the instrument sound more like circus calliope! Slow down so we can hear the true beauty of the instrument! Listen to Bruno Hoffman!
We are all so respectful for Bruno Hoffman. He was the one who has recorded most of the works dedicated to the glassharmonica before he died in 1991. I listened to him for the 1rst time in the 1980's and I was mesmerized. Thanks to him I discovered this fantastic musical world. Of course, like you know, he didn't play the glassharmonica but the glassharfe, an arrangement of glasses filled with water to tune them, put on a table. He has to adapt his technique to the possibility of his instrument and so he played some works, sometimes, about half the normal tempo because, like in this Mozart, he couldn't play the large chords written (until 8 notes) and had to play them arpeggio. When I had to record the Adagio for the "Amadeus" soundtrack (long version in 2001), the Milos Forman production asked me to record at the same tempo than Bruno did on his LP because they used it to test the music on the movie before to re-record it. So, I have also recorded a slower version at the same tempo than Hoffman and you can probably find the CD somewhere with the "Amadeus" soundtrack.
@@SPscorevideos You can play the flute an oboe parts on Violin so it becomes adagio and rondo for Glass Harmonica and String quartet. The glass harmonica part can be played on Piano too.
Thank you, Jerm. I thought I had heard the glass harmonica referred to as the 'armonica', but this seems to be rare. I am just pleased to know I did not dream it!

Among all his works, this piece is the one I love most deeply, it's speaking my spirit.
Imo this is one of Mozart's finest works. The harmony is incredible and with great tunes sprinkled throughout.
MOZART....musica magica CELESTIALE!
Un grand plaisir de découvrir la partition de cette oeuvre de Mozart !
It sounds like I'm swimming in a sea of mystery.
Interesting! Mozart writes for it almost as if it's a piano
That's amazing 👏

영원한 젊음을 간직한 참다운 대가~!!
The Rondo part sounds like a carefree little nice tune.
Avec un instrument dont on entend peu le son habituellement ! Merci !
Magic music!

What is the form of the rondo
The music sounds an octave higher than written and yes you can play it on Celesta or even a Piano.
are you sure it’s an octave higher. doesn’t sound like it to me

Nope, it's a glass harmonica: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_harmonica
