I am quite positive that Mozart himself wouldn't have minded at all what another genius had added on to this beautiful piece of his to make it sound truly unrivaled.
the part starting @4:11 to @5:03 (score bars 76 to 92) is amazing!!! At first, the orchestra, the piano, and the bassoon have a little talk, while the wind section holds the harmony for a while; then after the strings pizzicato section, the wind instruments join again to sustain and reinforce the base harmony while the piano basically just plays a few more ornaments and single notes... so good, it is hard to really comprehend how creative Mozart was! Sublime! All this leads to the flute and clarinet duo @5:04 and the final coda, which finishes suspended by three final chords of strings and winds section; the lightest music in the entire universe @5:24.
The sound is out of this world when the horns start singing. This is one of the greatest music I've ever come across, one of the most enchanting! Thank you for uploading =] (tho i haven't heard the slower one)
@Craftonia That is a very interesting point, I think you are quite right but I find the slower version a touch more mournful at times with overtures of happiness. You're in titled your opinion, I suppose that beautiful songs such as this can be interpreted differently and they can mean totally different things to others than it might to me
I want everybody, who says that this piece isnt played well because it s too fast or whatever, to shut up. Horowitz was genius and if this is his way to play this concerto you should accept it, without any stupid comments...every master of his instrument has his own way to make music...
I believe another story goes that when Frederick II of Prussia (I think that's the right ruler) wanted to commission an opera from him when he was around 16, Frederick had one of his composers make a little welcoming march to be played on his arrival. Mozart heard the piece once, played it perfectly by ear, and then added to it on the spot, turning the bland piece into a beautiful work of music. The composer who made the piece watched him turn his piece 20x betr A tribute to his greatness :P
I agree that it's probably supposed to be played slower than Horowitz does, but that's the way he always (that I know of) performed this movement, and it's his privilege to interpret it that way.
@C7Petra Wonderful, thats really inspiration. I always tend to imagine places when i listen to music but i never painted, because im not good, but you just make me wanna learn painting for mixing it with music. Thank you!
@FilonovaEY There is a free PDF of the full score at the International Music Scores Library Project. If you go to the piece's Wikipedia page there is a link to it (You tube won't let me post it here for some reason).
ameblo.jp/galwayera/entry-12024171006.html The next would be my personal opinion. Speaking about Horowitz tempo,in spite of Adagio ,his tempo is pretty quick as if like Andante. But I think that his choice is reasonable. Because this 2nd movement is Sciciliano. In other words, It's a kind of dance music based on 6/8 beat. I guess that he wanted to emphacise this aspect called Siciliano. And watching this Mozart 2nd movement score, I 've discovered that the stream of this tonality . F# minor~ A major~F# minor. I could feel the genius of Mozart at this aspect called musical moduration. From Tokyo
Mozart avait trois ans lorsqu'il se mit au piano. Comme son père lui demandait ce qu'il faisait, il eut cette réponse charmante : "Je cherche les petites notes qui s'aiment". (Jean Lefèvre, Dictionnaire de l'esprit)
@poplife123 oh but i'm an amateur, not a connaisseur. i don't know anything about tempo or music language in general. but what wonderous works of music are there. and what joy to see how others do stiil appreciate music like this :)
You know I heard this version for years before ever hearing the slower interpretations and I have the exact feeling you do, only 180' opposite! I feel that by slightly increasing the tempo it brings out the beautiful hesitations on the piano slightly more. The slower versions lose those moments and instead the piano sounds too strict and less emotional.
idk... from all the accounts I've seen, Mozart was a very outgoing, rowdy and eager to do new things. I think he was the first to write a German opera, which is ridiculous since German is not very flowing at all (not to insult Germany or its people), and wanted the opera to take place in a *cough* brothel *cough*. If you don't know the word, look it up xD. Absolute genius though, utterly prodigious. He drove his contemporary composers crazy with his amazing ability.
Read somewhere that Mozart was insignificant looking and small in appearance. And would click his heels as he talked with people. Usually about small things and gossip. Also loved billiards, horses, and fine clothes.
@equineface Well, I know how. I bought a cd with the same music, but they play it very slowly. Horowitz plays with allure. That's how. This is much better. I think I have to buy a new cd :-D
This amount of genius in five and a half minutes is overwhelming to the human mind.
Argh. I want to conduct this now...
Does any one think this is one of his better works (i mean mozart)? It has more feeling than most of his other piano concerto's
Absolutely.
100%. It’s amazing. Total genius to compose this when I read these notes. Just amazing.
His other concertos have feeling too especially no 24 :)
I am quite positive that Mozart himself wouldn't have minded at all what another genius had added on to this beautiful piece of his to make it sound truly unrivaled.
Unfortunately, I can like this only once...
Have been listening and watching many dozens of times!

This piece is a truly masterpiece. It clearly shows True Mozart.
The sound is out of this world when the horns start singing. This is one of the greatest music I've ever come across, one of the most enchanting! Thank you for uploading =]
(tho i haven't heard the slower one)
this music, this tune is out of our universe, because human beings cannot comprehend the power of this master piece .
This is music. A melody that flows with such fluidity.
Valid tempo interpretation- because Mozart did revise the tempo up to Andante.
A lovely piece of music.
see the video of the recording session - you can admire his skills even more
Fair play to you for putting this up. Fair play indeed!
Truely emotion provoking music. Amazing the effect music can have.
Mi fa piangere, ridere, sognare...Bellezza pura, un dono di Dio!
Este movimiento es sencillamente maraviloso desde Ecuador gracias por compartir
Each time I listen to this movement by Mozart and played by Horowitz I want to give it a like. But, alas, it is possible to like just once.
Beautiful!
This is amazingly beautiful!!

absolutely beautiful
Too sublime.

absolutely phenomenal... like magic notes :)
I'm back ... after 11 years, still listening to this wonderful piece of art.
after 15 years 😅👌
thank you, i'm going to store this in my mind
its not just the dificulty of the composition but the effect on the listener, if you dont feel it you dont feel it.
El concierto 23de Mozart magistralmente tocado
Timeless beauty

Just amazing.
nice posting ! more please from Wolfgang, I like reading the score with the music,It gives the Masterpeice a whole new dimension .
@C7Petra Wonderful, thats really inspiration. I always tend to imagine places when i listen to music but i never painted, because im not good, but you just make me wanna learn painting for mixing it with music. Thank you!
Mi fa piangere, ridere, sognare...
Working on this one... I love Mozart:)
i love them both
Je m'en lasse pas !
Found it... I'm really enjoying it!!!!
Thanks soo much drillsargentadog... :) Your the best!!!!
It's faster than other versions, but it doesn't take away the emotions.
Heavenly ...
divine

Lol too fast? This is the definitive performance of this concerto!

@Bridge0723 no doubt mozart had great influence on almost every great composer to come out of history
Lovely
Simplesmente génio
Aside from the superfluous liner notes, I really like his interpretation. Very simple.
That's a scene from the movie Amadues. Great scene. Really!
Ah, Mozart. A beautiful escape from modernity.
Piekne dzielo!!!

très pratique merci :)
@bayreuth79 I agree thnx I was waiting for someone to say that

@C7Petra Wow great! I love that kind of mix between arts. Which was the result of drawing? srry for my english
It sounded quite chopinesque before the orchestra came in in my opnion
Chopin admired Mozart greatly. He had asked Mozart's Requiem Mass play at his funeral
@bayreuth79 I agree thnx I was waiting for someone to say that.
But still nice performance
You know I heard this version for years before ever hearing the slower interpretations and I have the exact feeling you do, only 180' opposite!

The slower versions lose those moments and instead the piano sounds too strict and less emotional.
In fact, I can hear chopin in the whole song, I can't see him in the sheet but it's just there if you hear it. Except for some mozarty basses.
let there be peace joyce
I like your taste!
중세기 궁내 정원의 모습이 그려져... 평온과 환희 그리고 애잔함마져...
Can you please provide the sheet music reference used in the video? This edition is great! Thanks.
This concerto is great, the pianist, too. Does anyone know where we can find the sheets ready to be downloaded?
@lePistolero ya! i thought so too!
master piece no doubt, but why does the second movement sound so sad? I cry every time I listen to it.😢
Where can I find the sheet music for this??? I love this movement... I must have it:)
idk... from all the accounts I've seen, Mozart was a very outgoing, rowdy and eager to do new things. I think he was the first to write a German opera, which is ridiculous since German is not very flowing at all (not to insult Germany or its people), and wanted the opera to take place in a *cough* brothel *cough*. If you don't know the word, look it up xD.
Absolute genius though, utterly prodigious. He drove his contemporary composers crazy with his amazing ability.
1989...? humm... Well, you guys should check out his 1986 recording. I think it is much better. love his interpretation regardless.
why he adds notes to piano score that Mozart did not wrote...
@plagueofangels666 i think the dminor is v good as well as c minor....this seems the most romantic of all his concertos
Compare the opening of this movement to the slow movement of Haydn symphony 12. Say what?
Does anyone know if there is a piano solo transcription of this piece?
esistono musiche che parlano all'anima
Look - the tempo is ADAGIO. I cannot rate highly enough the Roger Norrington/Melvyn Tan rendition with fortepiano.
How can you go wrong with Horowitz playing Mozart?
I've got it, write me if you want it.
Please click on the High Quality link at the top-right.
But I think the orchestra brings the tempo back slightly to the adagio I imagine Mozart intended.
@Diffomega no doubt mozart had great influence on chopin.
i think its too fast,.. and should the apoggiaturas be played on the beat?
such a beautiful movement
C'est même plus de la musique, c'est juste toute la vie...
@rmannion that's not possible
I wish I had the music for it.. :(
Read somewhere that Mozart was insignificant looking and small in appearance. And would click his heels as he talked with people. Usually about small things and gossip. Also loved billiards, horses, and fine clothes.
whatb do you mean Patter ?
am I the only one who hears this a pitch higher than the written music??
@equineface Well, I know how. I bought a cd with the same music, but they play it very slowly. Horowitz plays with allure. That's how.
This is much better. I think I have to buy a new cd :-D
I'd have to say it 's a bit to fast for me....but then I'm only used to one recordign
Another Amadeus scene. Still Great!
As much as I love this song, I feel that this interpretation is too fast for my taste.
You're right. Too fast.
yeah. played at a slower tempo that B# in the 6th measure is such a knockout
I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about. Care to cite your sources?
There is no doubt that the tempo is too quick. Mozart clearly marked it "Adagio", not "Andante".
The begining sound's like siciliano by bach/kempf... funny
These one of Mozart's hundreds pieces., obviously not up to par with his greatest pieces. Don't undermine a composer based on one piece.
chopin never met beethoven
