Mozart kv545

on: January 23, 2011, 06:03:56 PM

Hey guys!

I love this one, and I was wondering how difficult it is for a begginer.
I heard the second movement is much easier than the first one.

Any suggestions?

Also, seems very long for a begginer

I just watched it being played. Wow, nice sound and fingering of both hands. Very possible for a beginner with work. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Musically, Jimbo

Well, I've been practicing it for 2 days actually, and today I really got an improvement... Im sticking to the 1st mov, it seens pretty doable, but it will take some time, but If I can do it, I probably can consider the whole thing done... but maybe I will need 2 to 3 weeks to be able to play it no stop at least... Im finding the "tr" trills kind challenging cause it makes me lose my LH tempo..

Play each hand independently very, very slowly a few times to gain muscle memory and then slowly together a few times. When you can accomplish that, start to speed up a little at a time. After slowly hitting all the notes correctly you should be able to play at the right tempo. You may have to divide it into sections but eventually you'll get it.

Thanks Jimbo!

Dividing things into individual sections is turning out to be a very valuable tool =)

It is a pretty straight forward piece, and certainly easy as sonatas go. But I think you need a very nice, fluid technique in order to play it well and a true beginner would have great difficulty bringing it up to performance tempo while maintaining the fluid nature. I guess by the time you can play it well you cannot really be called a beginner anymore.

I just finished memorizing the 1st mov, now I need to practice to play non stop, and there are 2 measures that Im having a little problem to play but Im figuring out, a couple more days and I think it will get smoothier.

Well, I play the piano for 1 month only, actually 23 days, I started with some easier ones like Minuet G major, Clair de Lune, and others that I still work on.. I think If I can manage to play it, than its a very easy one indeed

Hello caioramos.

Good luck with this, but honestly... I wouldn't recommend a begginer playing this type of piece. The thing is... there's a huge difference between playing all the noted of a piece right, and actually doing the piece justice. Pieces like Clair de Lune are even still difficult for me in some ways, not in playing the notes per se, but just getting the right feel for the music. I think this is something that takes a lot of time, and develops naturaly as you continue to play the piano. So I would recommend playing some easier pieces for now, not because you couldnt play the notes, but just so you can get more accustomed to playing the piano.

Best of luck.

I honestly do understand what you mean, and I totally agree =)
The thing is Im just putting myself to the test, Im playing easier pieces to improve my feeling for the piano, expression and interpretation are the all about in the end.

Next week I start my formal classes at the conservatory, I think my teacher will tell me the same thing as you. Its just that I loved this song so much

I think my problem is that I already attended music college, Im a former eletric guitar player, I play guitar for about 10 years now.. so since I can play almost anything in the guitar, learning a new instrument is hard because I have this feeling of "I NEED to be able to play this, what the heck I know I can"

In a way my previous music knowledge will speed my learning process, but at the same I feel that this confidence issue can haste it too much, Im gonna watch out for the good

Ahh... Ok. I understand, there've been a lot of times I've started playing a piece I knew was a little too difficult for me, just cause I loved it. But yeah, previous musical knowledge will probably help you in a lot of ways, but still take your time with it, enjoy mastering easier pieces before you get to the harder ones.

I have to agree with those who said this piece is too ambitious for someone who's only played a month. You can hit the notes with a few week's practice, but the trills and legato runs won't be smooth until you develop some techniques that require much longer. Especially tough is the LH run in measure 50. That said, I think the only harm in attempting it is that your time might be better spent learning progressive pieces that build skill. I think I learned it at 2 years, and feel that I'm only now starting to play it right (and at allegro tempo) as I close in on 5 years.
