Fantasy K397 interpretations and reading
February 28, 2010, 05:07:50 PM by adaubre

I've noticed that the passage I've posted below seems to be commonly played in a way that does not match what is written.
On the manuscript excerpt I've posted, the 2nd bar in clearly shows a D and E with a staccato markings above them. And yet, consistantly I hear people playing it legato. Here are just two examples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8P7-1IzhwU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Ml4NaGO5w
The question is: seeing as so many people are playing this legato, and of course, seeing as my view on things is far from "perfect", I'm wondering if there are manuscripts out there that don't show the marking - or, that the marking is viewed as "optional" by many who are interpreting.
Another common angle on the D and E (and the other instances of the theme), is that it is played as a 32nd note rather than a 16th note. In the example below (a very mechanical interpretation in this case actually serves to highlight the point), the D, which is clearly written as a 16th note, is being played as a 32nd. So the question is as above, is this a common approach to the D and E (and the other instances of the the theme)?

Do we not lose the dramatic affect of the moment if we play them a) Legato and b) as 32 notes?
Here is an interpretation which, still in my opinion fails to make the staccato note a "moment", but does play the notes as written: a 16th note.

Question about Mozart D minor fantasia.
December 25, 2007, 06:25:18 PM by Petter

Im learning this from the sheet music available here on Pianostreet.com and I have a question about the 2nd presto part (bar 44). In the 4th note bracket with all the ascending 16th notes theres an extra "a" note that breaks the symmetry of this phrase (At least thats my impression) . Anyone know if this is a typo or not?
And what publisher do you recommend for sheet music when it comes to Mozart?

Pedal in Mozart
November 02, 2007, 04:00:24 AM by elsie07

I did a search on pedaling Mozart's music, but I still have a couple questions. The piece I am currently playing and wanting to find information for is Mozart's K. 397. I learned the piece about six months ago, but am polishing it up again for a college audition.
1. My music professor says that using pedal in Mozart is a big no-no. He plays piano, but does not teach it (he teaches voice and music appreciation), but I still want to consider what he says because he does have a lot of knowledge about the piano and stylistic practices. What are your thoughts on using pedal in Mozart's music?
2. If you think that pedaling Mozart is acceptable, how much is ok? How do you avoid "romanticizing" Mozart (assuming that this should be avoided)?
3. What are some other stylistic practices to keep in mind when playing Mozart?
4. Finally, if pedal is not acceptable, should I be reasonably concerned about playing the K. 397 for a college audition? It is for a different professor than the one I mentioned earlier...but this other professor has a DMA in piano performance from Peabody, and I have no idea how picky he is about pedaling and such. *gulp* 
I tried playing the K. 397 without pedal, but it sounds so dry! Maybe I'm just not used to it without pedal, but to me, it just sounds so much more beautiful with the pedal! And I don't use the pedal constantly, but I wouldn't say that I use it sparingly, either. The sections in which I use pedal are: arpeggios in the opening section (m. 1-11); measures 12-15, 19-22, 29-33, 35-37, 46-55, twice in m. 64-71 to make a jump smoother, and m. 72-86.
I have been told by my teacher to use pedal as needed, but that it should never be obvious. I also use a lot of tempo changes - "stretching" the music out. I don't know if that makes any sense; it is rather difficult to explain without demonstrating, and I don't have any recording equipment to put a recording of myself on here for y'all to hear what I'm doing.
If anyone has suggestions or advice, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks very much!

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
