Mozart TURKISH MARCH from Sonata no. 11 in A major (K.331) - Analysis

[@drdandan6128]

The most underrated channel ever

[@jubnx2781]

Agreed

[@Lizzar3]

As a Turkish, I'm really proud of this video and this music.

[@zecalimazeca]

Such a great channel. And it is so helpful when you write the chord names to use in pop music. Thank you and hugs from Brazil.

[@ruihuafan2433]

I really love your analysis on the harmony, which helps me understand this piece (as well as others for sure) a lot. Thank you!

[@AnaPaula-np5rq]

The most charming pianist on KZbin. Your hands are divine. Is there coffee, tea or another drink in this beautiful black cup ?! ♥️

[@SonataSecrets]

It could be.

@@SonataSecrets Om jag inte var så överbelastad med arbete och studier. Jag skulle hitta Pianist-fanklubben Henrik Kilhamn. Men här är tipset. 💐

[@dallasstiles118]

Not only do I find everything you do informative and fun, but I recommend your channel to all my students to help them understand things in a deeper way. My background was in percussion which I think is why this piece resonated so much with me when I first heard it so many years ago. Thanks very much.

[@eszamet]

Thank you for your wonderful program. I hope for a continuation. It really helps to understand music.

[@anned4312]

Thank you for all your inspiring and wonderfull analyses! Great videos! You've reopened many Mozart and Chopin pieces for me and given me so much to work with, both when it comes to pieces I have played and new ones that I want to learn.

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks Anne. I'm so happy to hear that! :)

[@walker-bd2uo]

Perfect analysis! I really enjoyed it. I'm in love with this piece. I stopped playing the piano a few years ago and can barely read notes but learned this peace through KZbin tutorials and now I can almost play every part. This video was a pleasure.

[@HiHello-rs1ey]

Been looking forward to this video for a long time!!

[@niravpandeyy]

I love your Videos man!!!!! You give such in depth analyses of pieces...... i just started learning the piano and i am sooo engrossed in your explanations! Make more videosssss!!!! (Edit): u sound like my.french teacher...

[@kalynnscompositions]

Glad you explain the Augmented 6 chords. They're all always fun when they show up in analysis! (:

I love your videos, is amazing how you explain all this world

[@margarethansen7480]

Amazing two vídeos👏👏👏 Thanks for your expressed❤ love for Music!

[@ArthurVIIJuliusPendragon]

I’m a beginner, learning for about 8 months now, and I am learning this piece from the first movement. So far I am up to the variation V. I really love this movement and it would be really interesting to see you analyse this part of the piece too.

[@TheKickid]

It is one of my favorite peace of Mozart! 😊

[@arongach7241]

Really good video, thank you!

[@SonataSecrets]

It's my pleasure!

[@gianynyr]

What are the dynamics used? What is the texture? What harmonic element wers used? What melody were used?

[@billyman2941]

I love your analysis. Could you please analysis on No. 13 piano sonata in B flat major, K.333 too? that's really helpful for my ATCL exam

[@caterscarrots3407]

See, I’ve analyzed the form of this rondo and I get something more detailed than yours, specifically this: A minor section - A Parallel thirds in C major - B A major theme - C F# Minor section - D Scales in A major - E Leading to this for the whole piece |: A :||: B A :||: C :||: D :||: E D :||: C :||: A :||: B A :||: C :| Coda As you can see, mine has the A major octaves as the main theme, even though it doesn’t come first and ternary form episodes, leading to the reverse of the typical rondo. Typical rondo is Main theme, Episode until the final statement of the main theme. Here, you have an Episode first rondo.

[@SonataSecrets]

Of course that is a more detailed structure that is correct. I went for a more simplified version here in order to bring out what I feel most important. That's the beauty of analayses, you can do them differently. The reason is I think that A and B is too close to be called separate sections. In this case I would call them |: A1 :||: A2 A1' :|. The same with D and E.

[@HiHello-rs1ey]

Hi, I have a question , why is it Alla Turca in A major? Shouldn’t it be in A minor because it starts in A minor???

[@caterscarrots3407]

Hi Hello It’s in A major because that’s the key of the sonata and the key that the movement ends in. In fact, this sonata is one of those few that has all the movements in the same key. Another example is Beethoven’s Sonata in Eb "The Hunt". Even though it technically has an Ab major middle movement, it still feels like the whole movement is in Eb major, thus me bringing it up as an example.

[@SonataSecrets]

Carrots is right, it's the shole sonata that is "in A major". It's hard to decide what to call this movement because it goes between A minor and A major so much. Gun to my head I would go with A minor though, since it's not uncommon for movements in minor to end in major.

[@caterscarrots3407]

@@SonataSecrets See, I would go with A major because I've only really seen 2 ways that a movement in minor ends in major where I would still consider the movement to be in minor, those being: 1) Picardy Third, as happens often in Chopin and is also common in the Baroque 2) Dramatic purpose, like we keep the tension of the minor going for a while and then it Bam! releases on a major chord mid-movement. Shostakovich for example does this in his fifth symphony final movement. Beethoven does this often only to thwart the nice, calm major with the presence of a diminished seventh chord that brings us back to minor Here in this Mozart movement, to me, the A minor seems more like an episode than anything else and the majority of the piece relates back to the A major, so I would consider this movement to be in A major like the other 2 sonata movements(which also involve that same back and forth between A major and A minor).

[@HiHello-rs1ey]

Ok thanks guys

[@samantaniones1756]

can someone reply what is the meter of this I need it very urgent. Thanks! hoping for a quick reply from anyone!!

[@arongach7241]

Do you have a video about Beethoven - Appassionata 2nd movement? I really interested about that beautiful peace...

[@SonataSecrets]

Unfortunately no, I haven't done the Appassionata as of now. I have played it though, so maybe in the future. The 2nd movement is a lovely set of variations over the simple chorale that starts it.

[@arongach7241]

@@SonataSecrets , yes, I really like it to listen and to play also. :)
