I really enjoyed listening to this, great job !

I've never been very good at playing Mozart, so I have great respect for people who can play it well.   There may have been a couple mistakes in there, but nothing very noticeable. Very nice playing.

Hi, good stuff, played this a few times myself and know all these difficult points where I find myself struggling, you seem to go there pretty fluently.


One question, on the fifth bar (the one with the fp) you seem to change tempo, is that on purpose?

[prongated]

It's good. The one thing that annoys me is the fact you break up all the phrases according to the slurs. I'm sure musicologists are happy with your choice, but, by God, you've got 4 phrases in 4 bars! And really, is Mozart such uncreative, unimaginative composer that he broke them up like that?

At least that's what my teacher fervently believes - a very prominent teacher who I find has a most excellent taste in music than just about everybody else I've encountered. "Pianists are the only instrumentalists that always look to break phrases!" he would say. In any case, why not try it? Think the melody the way a singer would - think them as one longer phrase!

But yes, as it is, it's good!

I love this sonata, too, and have played it a lot.  you have a very brilliant touch and fleet fingers.  bravo!  On the other hand, I feel this movement a bit slower and more lyrical.  I also agree with prongrated in that the phrasing should be more extensive.  I like the way you follow those finger passages and never lose sight of the direction.  Do the same with the rest.  For example, think of the first four measures as one phrase - a question and answer (or a statement and rebuttle, if you want ) You have a natural feel for Mozart, I think, but it's a bit one-sided at the moment.
Where's the rest?

Hi, Birba. Thanks again. I will take in account your advices (as always do) 

Where's the rest?

Well, this is kind of embarrassing. I didn't like very much the way the 2nd movement went. When I listened to it the first time I thought I had played it a bit dull for my taste (I don't know, I'd maybe listen to it again, I would change my mind) and the third had some big mistakes that I think aren't too much important for a public performance but still not with a minimum quality to be published.

You're right.  The second movement is a female dog. (to get across, mind you!)  Just those first repeated c's are problematic in themselves!  But like I said before, you follow the line very well when you have lots of notes to contend with.  Do the same here.  I simply adore the last movement.  Pure joy and playfullness!

compared to other renditions i've heard, there's  more piano-dynamics.
that's the physiological (hearing organ)obyective element.To like or dislike the above is a matter of individual taste: i like very much  . Good luck

you've done a very nice job of this little bit of mozart.  you make it sound so easy and effortless, which is clearly the result of a lot of hard work--mozart is so deceptive that way.

the way you play + the recording and room acoustics make
a NICE piece to listen to.... it sings.
