All Mozart keyboard pieces sound easier than they actually are, but this one is exceptionally hard. It’s borderline virtuosic, and a true test of a pianist’s endurance and ability to maintain consistency of articulation and nuanced dynamics across endless 16th note passages. This is one of the best performances ever captured in record. Hard to believe it’s live.

[@falldog9]

It’s not borderline virtuosic, it is virtuosic. Much more difficult to execute than it first appears. ❤

[@AaronGlenn88]

I've heared Andras Schiff, Glenn Gould, & Barenboim's recordings...and this one is the best. The left hand runs are awesome and their is excellent phrasing in your playing. Beautiful

[@caphaddock1126]

Listen Alicia de Larrocha

[@petersnell3128]

Mozart is always good to hear when played by a dexterous pianist. His pieces sound easy but they're very demanding. He uses a light texture most of the time and that in itself poses countless challenges. Here, Lucas gets the ivories fully under his command and treats us beautifully to Mozart. 👏👏👏👏

[@leo32190]

Agreed. But no ivories any more 😂

[@andinosa]

My new favorite Mozart interpreter. I feel every note. And technically perfect. How do you pay so well with the hands so tense?

[@ninoinsinga2532]

Per me è una delle più belle interpretazioni mai ascoltate, degna di stare accanto a quelle di Richter e Barenboim. Il secondo tempo è da brividi. Un grande pianista. Complimenti, maestro Debargue!

[@barbarakamholz4693]

Lucas, it looks as though you are communicating almost verbally with the music itself...the expressions on your face, and the movements of your mouth. it is mesmerizing. Your intensity is captivating, and compelling.

[@izamara_8759]

Great pianist! ...great interpretation

[@skisunfb]

A very beautiful, insightful and expressive interpretation. One of the finest I've heard recently of this masterpiece. Bravo.

[@eddielew2292]

So assertive and delicate at the same time with classical French clarity. Fabulous.

[@pelegrino791]

Magnifique ! j'étais à ce concert et je suis content de le revoir.

[@BenSadounJeremie]

Performance prodigieuse à la philharmonie. C’était magnifique.

[@johnrickert5572]

This is a reason, among many others, why Mozart is the greatest composer of all time. Thank you for this stunning performance.

[@wagnerpolveiro]

The music of Mozart is pure magic and, listen to his music played by you my dear Lucas, is absolutely fantastic, you are amazing. Thanks for sharing 💖

[@BeadingTutorialsNews]

Lucas, you really do not need me to say how great this performance sounds...but I have to say it, just for the records...no classical training here, but if the music speaks to the soul, as they say, for sure yours does...looking forward to your new posts!

[@bibitokuhara6832]

素晴らしい‼️

[@toadistical]

pfft 1 dislike, who would hate such a master interpretation?

[@Im____ltm]

I've listened to A LOT of interpretations of this sonata, but this one might be my absolute favorite!! First movement is a bit too fast for my taste but masterfully structured.

[@keags1]

wonderful

[@amax7321]

Fresh Mozart, bravo!

[@ludwigvanbeethoven61]

Mozart, so innocent and profane but endlessly beautiful

[@edoardosuprani4721]

Marvelous interpretation! Congrats😍🎹

[@ancutanitepianist2343]

Wonderful!!!! Really enjoyed this!

[@lourak613]

What exquisite articulation! What was disconcerting, however, was the sudden slowing and irregularity of the tempo at the beginning of the repeat in the first movement. It seems as though he realized that the opening tempo was kind of frenzied, so he tried to make an adjustment - but perhaps sensing that would be too disruptive of the entire structure, he decided to go back to the original tempo (just speculating). In truth, I prefer the slower tempo that he was trying to settle into. And aside from the occasional arbitrary pauses as an expressive device - quite amazing overall!

[@johanlindeberg7304]

Intentional. Emotional interpretation.

[@deej20007]

Agreed

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

9:50 best part . He composed this when his mother got sick and died

[@johnrickert5572]

If I am not mistaken -- and please correct me if I am -- Mozart composed this sonata on hearing of the death of his mother, with whom he had not had a particularly good relationship. While Mozart in major keys is heavenly, his works in minor keys always take me to depths I cannot fathom.

[@skisunfb]

He and his mother were in Paris - contrary to his father's wishes - trying to find new avenues for his talent. Instead of the success his genius deserved he ended up struggling, and the situation got dire. Giving piano lessons provided no where near the income they needed (nor the necessary contacts) and things remained hand to mouth with little hope of a break through. As if this weren't enough, his mother got very sick and died in his arms just days after symptoms appeared (most likely flu-related bronchitis)...an absolute nightmare. His father of course blamed him in the worst way because he had warned him not to got to Paris. Wolfgang tried to keep the news from his father as long as possible, probably out of sheer fear for the imminent wrath - and that only made things worse. The first movement could be seen as his struggle in dealing with these accusations laced with his own desperation. The second movement, IMO, is all about his mother and his trying to internalize and come to terms with the loss - the turbulent middle section is a tell all. Cheers.

[@johnrickert5572]

@@skisunfb Thank you for your very informative reply.

[@skisunfb]

​ My pleasure. Your question was a good one! I forgot to mention that Mozart's relationship with his mother was indeed a very close one - and one filled with lots of humor (they were both obsessed with the more peculiar body functions, especially farts), and this is revealed in their letters back and forth. He also loved his father very much but their relationship was a very complicated (and not lacking in warmth) with many facets that have been analyzed ad nauseam through today's perspectives...although they lived in a much different age. Leopold definitely deserves huge credit for the musical education (as well as general ed) of both his children.

[@iriswang8643]

[@charliewebster4028]

Superb performance of an early mature work. Mozart leaves his peers behind in this one...

[@irinavinnikova3200]

GREAT!!!!! BRAVO!!!!

[@thisispuppy6981]

his perception and feeling for this sonata is very similar to the way I understand it, i enjoy the perfomance

[@yangluo]

Very clean playing, but I want to hear more colors and more LH counterpoints. Without them, it sounds a bit more one-dimensional.

[@JeanYan112]

First movement sounds like Presto to be honest

[@michaelsolomon6594]

Yes

[@juansuran644]

Esos gestos... 🙄 Reencarnó Glenn Gould⁉️💀🤪🤣

0:03 Allegro maestros 5:36 Andante cantabile con espressione 14:16 Presto

[@kesinskii]

Compare this to the Gould Horror Show in the same Sonata.

[@AsrielKujo]

Gould played it much better

[@origins2022]

This is not Mozart. Sloppy. Tempo and rhythm deviations, violently. Don't expose yourself. Everyone understands that you are a virtuoso.

[@XBOX_MUSICxoxoxo]

Your right this is LUCAS DEBARQUE
