reworked mozart sonata in A k.331 1st mvt

[jehangircama]

here is the first mvt of the sonata. i have worked on it a bit more, is it better than before?

im not sure i dig the abrupt rests and sforzandi.
keep at it. listen to gould's recording, not listening for the tempo but for the music itself, the melody, the lines, etc. they are beautiful. and in the frist few variations because he plays it slower its easier to pick up on.

I would listen to Rachmaninoff's on youtube. Then you'll know how it's done  

One of my main issues are the random breaks you made during phrases. Also In general I thought it could be a bit more tender.

I hope I helped

thanks for your replies. just listened to the two recs suggested on youtube:
1. gould plays it just too slow, imho. i don't think many audiences will be able to put up with the repeats, etc. if you go at that pace. certainly not the audience i will be playing for, of that i'm sure. but yes, his alla turca was interesting, he brought out the turkish character very well.
2. rachmaninoff plays it in too romantic a manner, too many speed changes for my liking. its ok but its not the way i would interpret mozart at all. i wouldn't call that 1st variation andante grazioso. more like a presto, the way he does it.

 i am trying to play more tenderly, that comment i got from someone else too, so will work on it. however, my edition does have a few sf markings, and most of the staccatos are the line staccatos (slight accent) rather than the dots. and the edition is an urtext, carisch edition. and that's the reason i've been playing that way. the rec. i have is a cd of jeno jando  (naxos) if you've heard it, that's closer to the way i've been playing.

btw did you listen to the third mvt as well? how did you feel that came out?
thanks a lot
