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?

[@SpitfireRoad]

@@NahreSol You have certainly inspired my playing. Classical background here thinking like I'm "playing on the corners" improvising this way.

[@hoot2416]

@@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.

[@THE_ONLY_GOD]

[@antoniaezac4653]

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😁

(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.

Agreed! So clever and really love this one.

[@brent3522]

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.

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😏

[@eingooglenutzer1474]

Nice breakdown. One thing: 11:32 Often in music from the classical period the number od bars in a phrase is divisible by 4 or 2. The first four phrases in this arrangement are 5 bars, which gives kind of an "uneven" feel to it. It is something composers of this era (esp. Haydn) sometimes did on purpose to achieve distinct effects, but if one tries to imitate Mozarts style with simple melody and form, they should rather use even phrase periods.

[@PabloGambaccini]

Not quite right, mozart tends to be very irregular in his early piano sonatas, having periods, of 2, 3 etc...

Wow, this very in-depth and highly entertaining and informative. I really enjoyed seeing the process like that, broken step-by-step, with all the ingredients kind of like a cooking of sort. The end result was super legit and very fun to listen to, I think you did a great job. I don't think I listened to enough Mozart yet in order to notice if something was missing but seeing how meticulous the arrangement is, with all the contrasts, really made me realize how much of an influence Mozart had on Ravel. I remember reading in a book about Ravel made by Manuel Rosenthal (one of the very few Ravel student) that whenever Rosenthal had a difficulty with a homework, Ravel often would tell him something akin to: "think, what would Mozart do?"... I do feel I can hear in both composers (as well as in your finished piece) how entertaining their music are, filled with little things and details here and there that are added and arranged with taste. Anyhow, I had a very nice time watching your video as usual, so thank you very much! Also congrats on the Henle Verlag sponsorship, this is huge! 🥳

[@SohailSiadat]

The annotations on video are so interesting, rich and informative.

[@SohailSiadat]

One of the best videos about classic music. Since you asked for suggestions: Change the first few notes, they don’t necessary have to be exactly like “happy birthday”. In beginning they are identical and in the rest there only there is inner similarity. The non-initial part is nicer than the first few notes copied from HBD (although HBD is considered catchy). Change slightly the timing of the first notes so that they are seamless with the rest. I think even HBD on its own can be played with slightly different timing and rhythm and still sound like HBD. The one chosen here for the first 4 notes is the most plan one. IMO, keep the part that you wrote, they are awesome, and turn the 4 initial notes (timing) to match the awesomeness of the rest of the notes.

[@mightyfinethornvine]

Marvelous! I think you got very close and yet you have so very far to go. With Mozart you hear the free flow of perfect thought. Every time you said "Not quite there yet", was just the opposite of the essence of Mozart. This caused repercussions in the clockwork precision of your musical tensions, sequences and creative ideas. The meditative state of mind is perhaps the greatest challenge. I do not think AI will be able to achieve this level of competence unless it becomes sentient.

This was great! I'm no Mozart expert, but perhaps one trope that might be harder to qualify is something like the antidote to the general playful flutteriness of everything, which would be "surprise sincerity".

Insightful and very entertaining. The deeper I keep delving into Mozart's music, the more I keep finding. After I become more proficient in the first nine sonatas I'm playing now, I won't be satisfied until I'll be playing all 18 of them. They are all so fascinating.

[@Zarty-Music]

Excelent series, congrats. My thoughts: 1. The overall structure is a bit messy. The character of your first Theme suits more with the opening of a rondo like third movement rather than the beginning of a sonata. In fact, from a formal point of view, it starts like an actual rondo before being "forced" into something else halfway. 2. The trill cadence at 11:52 is a big NO. That kind of gesture only appears at the end of secondary themes. 3. Theme 2 at 12:03 sounds beautiful but turns quickly into a "piano concerto cadenza like improvisation arena" with little to do with the begining of the piece (eventhough you seemed a lot more comfortable here). Secondary themes in minor within a major key work are not common in Mozart, but this one is also in the "wrong" key (vi instead of v). In general it's easy to tell the places where you were just being yourself within the given style - secondary theme and developmental space mostly - which I enjoyed the most, from the places where you were just trying hard to sound mozartian. Have a nice day.

Mozart would have used everything available APPROPRIATELY… where his genius at delicate contrasts differs from our attempts (without placing him on an impossibly high pedestal!). e.g. your point of dramatising (with Italian operatic nuances that he admired) Happy Birthday into an elaborate surprise gift IN SONATA FORM - say serenading the birthday 🎂 person with new piece played by ensemble (of servants all dressed up…busying in hubbub like at a market… with the enigmatic EASILY RECOGNISED signature of the same person … yet… at the crucial moment disaster struck … but the birthday girl 👧 could recognise the effort, the attempt and loved 🥰 every moment of it in happiness . In the way that UNITY IS ACHIEVED and our clumsy cobbling even the clever & beautiful contrasted with mishaps in his hands became a seamless tapestry even concerning where he was describing disaster …. yet celebrating the divine , (he was religious in a deep, funny yet touched by his genius way … “requiem” “memorising Allegri’s Miserere “…) loving 🥰 and forgiving FINAL OUTCOME ! again, thanks.
