[@Ummm6126]

I officially declare this as the best playing you can find on youtube. Believe me, I've heard every single version I can find. None has fulfilled me but this kinda does!

[@magdalenaNYC]

Thank you for listening!

[@grisher111]

Definitely! She captures the essence of Mozart like no one else--and I've listened to a lot of people playing this.

[@Rx-mn5fv]

The simplicity of the tune gave Mozart all that he needed to create multiple miracles. We are so fortunate to reap all of that beauty without any labor except appreciation. Bravo to composer and performer!

[@DoubleGauss]

Mozart could create so much beauty just from scales going up and down. Thus Salieri's comment from Amadeus "Ten minutes of ghastly scales.. arpeggios.. whizzing up and down like fireworks at a fairground."

[@lawsonrussell874]

The night of December 24, 1781, Mozart and Muzio Clementi were gathered for a piano duel for the Emperor. Clementi played his best, and people thought he was the winner, but.... after that, Mozart, sat at the piano, and played all this piece without score, just improvising all the variations. Obviously Mozart won the challenge. That was the great Mozart.

Mozart Theme and 1500 or so variations, amazing. Magdalena is a charming and engaging performer. It was a real treat to hear a complete performance of the Mozart Cmaj Variations on "I want my Mommy" children's song. Herr Mozart managed to extract an astonishing amount of delightful music from the ditty. Also, EXCELLENT camera coverage in this high quality video production. Kudos to the video production crew.

You see the power of his creativity and the wonderfully sublime gift he had for music enables him to beautify any tune in a multitude of ways. We are all enthralled because we know Twinkle Twinkle Little Start but had no idea how much it could be improved and in how many ways. If he was alive today, I'd challenge him to do the same to the Eastenders tune. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[@magdalenaNYC]

Thank you for listening!

[@claudioparrella183]

suona col cuore

[@jeffrudzinski]

She plays the variation starting at 5:09 wrong. After the ascending scale run there is a cascading fall that alternates hands. On her RH she plays all the three note sets twice and then once on the final set to close out the sequence. It's actually the other way around (thought I might have learned it wrong so I checked Mozart's score to verify). The top three note set is played once with all the lower sets played twice each. It's not likely her fault though because I see a number of copies of this online that have it wrong as well. Aside from that very minor thing this is a fantastic performance.

Beautiful interpretation. I can feel Mozart's elegance! Would you mind share the pedal you use for var XI? I'm having trouble playing this var. in a more legato way without proper pedalling. Thanks!

[@magdalenaNYC]

Thank you so much! As Heinrich Neuhaus wrote in his book The Art of Piano Playing, “The art of pedaling is governed by the ear.” I suggest delicate pedalling on all changes of harmony, with careful attention to the stepwise passages of the right hand. The effect must be that of utmost clarity. Good luck!

[@peterk.6093]

Well, the playing is simply great. But in fact, what deep, personally enriching experience do you get from a composition like this? Can anyone who really likes this composition please explain?

[@normanhh3]

It sure makes the simple children's song boring doesn't it! Found this for my 3 month old who didn't like the basic tune played on the electric violin. He had no problems with Mozart. Good taste already!

[@peterk.6093]

Good taste for 3 moths old, indeed. My 3 years old still likes listening to this in the car. We have it on our Mozart compilation for kids. But for the adults, even played this masterful way, it seems quite boring to me. Not even worth for a pianist of this level to invest the time for practicing it. Or am I wrong somewhere somehow? BTW. both my kids love Arvo Part - Spiegel im Spiegel. It is a good stuff to listen to before going to bed.

[@normanhh3]

My thinking here is that Mozart was a bored genius who practiced the traditional piece until he couldn't take it anymore and crafted 12 variations on the tune just to be a contrarian genius. I could be totally wrong though. ;-)

[@normanhh3]

I found this little tidbit from a scholarship article dissecting the music: "Variation I also reminds us that Mozart is a commercial and popular composer, that he knows well the audience’s taste. In Mozart’s time, variations were often composed as performance practice for virtuosic display on a particular instrument. Keeping the same harmonic line from the theme, Mozart uses skill in the first variation to connect with the original melody. With the same harmonic support, the embellished melody is clearly composed from the same pattern that Mozart uses in the theme (shown in Example 3 with the circled notes). " www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~mus701/mmac_v4_2005/articles/snow.html

[@peterk.6093]

Good ideas, thanks! Yes, it sounds something like exhibition of composer skills, player skills and instrument possibilities. Without deeper message and emotional investment. It makes sense to explain it like this. Still, it makes Mozart no less a genius with his other stuff.
