Olga Jegunova - W.A. Mozart: Piano Sonata No 11 in A - Major, K.331 (300i)

[@hampurista]

My mother used to play this sonata, and I heard and loved it as long as I lived. My mom also told that I was dancing to alla turca when I was still in her womb. The word "quality time" hadn't been invented in the 1960ies but it was her quality time in the afternoon and it was my quality time to listen to it. She played it on the piano 4 days before her death as a salute to my nephews wedding. She refused to die before this wedding to save the party. For the whole morning she played this sonata to say good bye to piano and life. Thanks for playing it on behalf of my late mum.

[@pbailey232]

Beautiful story to go with a beautiful melody that Mozart was so endowed to compose. Sorry for the loss of your mom and I pray that you will see her again. ❤

[@hampurista]

Thank you very, very much!

[@olgajegu]

Thank you all for all your messages, your attention and kindness. I am glad, this wonderful Sonata has been of your interest. Special regards to Boris Bizjak xx Wishing you all inspiration and joy of music!

I always tell people that a true musician does not need eyes, for that matter they do not need ears either, a true musician plays with their heart.

This sonata never fails to give me goosebumps, no matter how many times I listen to it

[@Kel_po]

I remember when I first listen to this masterpiece played by this extremely talented woman, I was lying in my boyfriend's bed and we were both crying to this after sharing deep strong thoughts of how our life was as kids, it was the best feeling to get it all out and this just made me leave this space and time and fly away to another plane. We're no longer together, but I keep this as a gift from life and as a lesson, thank you wherever you are, you gave me an experience I will never forget and as such it will live in me forever.

[@yassinghareeb5761]

Lovely to read, thanks for sharing.

[@kawaiiintelligenceagency3889]

She played it very beautifully! One thing that surprises me though is that nowadays nobody is dancing to Mozart at these concerts anymore but is sitting silently in awe. I get that this is common now out of respect to the performers but this music speaks so much vividity. it was meant to dance on

[@snakehair8767]

As a child I watched the film "Frances" (1982) with Jessica Lang and fell in love with this Sonata, which was part of the soundtrack. That was the motivational factor for me enrolling into the local music school so I could learn to play this! The best memories of childhood commitment, wonder and determination, although at times very stressful during the exams!

Olga Jegunova really performed this sonata very well. The dynamics, articulation and the characters are perfect. Thank you for upload this video!

What beautiful articulation, expressiveness and concentration. I love this! Olga plays with so much character. She really dived into the music and made it her own. I love the brightness and freshness in her sound. And her technique of dynamic contrast is amazing too.

[@mf8236]

Not sure if Olga's character is an useful addition to this concerto. I also like the freshness, but she's messing around too much with the dynamics. The transitions between quiet/loud, slow/fast, delicate/powerful are too obtrusive.

[@Davidedream]

Pianista che non conoscevo. Bravissima, emozionantissima. Esecuzione molto curata e passionale, con tutta la grazia della composizione originale.

[@robindcole]

Soooo lovely! She plays so playfully and with so much precision. I think Mozart would really appreciate this performance.

Being that he died so early I don't think he had yet written his best composition. It was still to come.

[@MichaelAlexander1967]

I was going to say something like, Wow, shear perfection, but before I did, I read most of the comment below by Martin Smith, & thought "Yeah, another musical genius other than Olga gets it". The thing I notice the most is the sensitivity, articulation & crispness in her dynamics. This is definitely the best Alla Turca that I have heard, & probably the best I've heard of the entire Sonata.

[@brianregan5053]

Only one word can sum up Olga’s rendering of this Amadean sonata: beauty.

[@dpbmss]

Well, this performance was at least 7 years ago. Congratulations! You have managed to turn out a truly up-to-date performance of this work. I liked that you didn't use the repeats in the first movement. The rest of it was kept crisp and light. Of course the piano you played had nothing very remote to do with Mozart's piano and so the piece sounded different from the way it did to him. But I am of the opinion that they were all looking for better instruments and writing for them. I believe I have clear evidence for it and much of Scarlatti and Rameau as well as Mozart and Beethoven. Notice the nice tone of the piano given to it by its solid maple rim. That had far more sustain than Mozart's piano too. You also looked really engaged in playing it. Really good. Will search more performances of yours. Best

[@jamesadams9688]

I am curious as to why you specifically like the omission of repeats in the first movement ? I mean, Mozart wrote them so I tend to feel we should not put ourselves above the master and omit anything. But maybe I am too purist in that respect. This is not however a critique of this very good performance.

[@peterhinow6231]

By the same logic one could also cut the Rondo in half.

[@erezsolomon3838]

​@@jamesadams9688 I usually follow the repeats willfully, but with this sonata, the repeats in the first movement make it stale and dry. I actually followed this performance through to the end when I usually skip the first movement after it tires me enough
