Mozart touch?

[rubinsteinmad]

       Hello, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions to achieve a more Mozartian touch.

 Now, my touch is too heavy and the notes linger to long, even after a let go.
Any suggestions?

If the notes are lingering too long after you let go, that sounds like a fault of the piano.
Try playing basic scales, but the minute you depress the next key, your previous finger should be lifted into the air. This will have to be done slowly. Granted, as you start getting faster, the fingers will have to be closer to the keys, but the principle remains the same.

With age i become more and more convinced that there is no particular "touch" for a composer.  There's certainly a particular style related to every composer,  but the sound and tone are yours alone.  Kempff was certainly not a "mozartian" player but his mozart was sublime.  The touch was identical in schubert and beethoven.  Maybe you're aiming for a dry ( not in the negative sense) crystal sounding touch.  Like in scarlatti and other harpsichord composers.  I Think for mozart this is wrong.  The tone should be generous and ringing in sound.  I event think bach should be played as such.  Maybe you're using too much pedal if the sound lingers after you've left the note.  Or the piano needs adjusting.

Wow--I would say just the opposite--with age I am becoming more and more aware of how each composer's "touch" is unique.    With age meaning I started at 4 and I am now 50 so maybe you are not referring to quite that much age
