When my father was in the hospital being treated for terminal cancer, I took a selection of classical music for him to listen to. This concerto was his favorite. I always think of him when I hear it.

[alterstassfurter]

This music touches my heart...I am a german steelworker without any knowledges about classical music...but listening to this music, I really relax...Thank you so much !

I am a 13 years, and I play the clarinet. I hope I someday can play this piece, and maybe half as good as she did. She’s so talented, and she makes it seem easy.

[abalamdepaimon]

Just the fact human beings created all these instruments and perfected them and play huge ensemble pieces is amazing. Listening to these centuries old musical marvels is nothing short but breath taking.

[margarettaylor]

I am very elderly and have always loved Mozart. This lass with her clarinet is just heaven. During lock down I have been endeavouring to renew my acquaintance with the piano although it is sixty years since I last did so. Although I make many mistakes the piano has been my saviour.

My father was a clarinet player and he loved this piece. I played the adagio on his funeral.

[albertwillems]

This is the very concerto, that was played at my brother`s funeral. It brought me back to the days, that he and I played together more than six decades ago. We both loved the same music, which my parents and other siblings also liked. Now they are all dead and I am left with so many beautiful memories. This piece will always remind me of my childhood.

[petechavez]

I performed this when I was 12.
I'm now 80
Brought back a flood of memories.
Thoroughly enjoyed hearing this young play it so excellently!

[kenboydart]

My girlfriend and I were driving down the coast of California and I played this Concerto for her .
She would not get out of the car till it ended . She was silent the entire time and I knew she
Was deeply moved, she said as much. . .
She left me shortly after, 9 years now, but I always believe I left this piece to her as a kind of life gift .

[pocketzhs]

I can't believe she's playing this from memory. Super impressive.

[math]

The adagjo is one of the greatest piece of music that the human mind has ever conceived.

[sophiakhosravi]

I am 11 years old and this is my first year of playing clarinet and I hope to play this piece in the future😊

[wolfgangamadeusmozart]

Hmm yes I remember this, a fine piece of art.. by none other than me.

[chrismartin]

Not embarrassed to say I cried hearing this. Beautiful.
Special piece of music for me.
What a talented young lady.

[gwynethwynne]

I am a wdow, of a few yrs, I miss my husband so much, the lonliness is unbarable, when I play this music, I seem to gain strengh, to carry on. so talented. Thank you so much Gwyneth from Wales

When I listen to Mozart’s music I’m often reminded that I must never forget that “ I’m kept alive and loved by God ”even in the face of hardships in life never living only by myself 💕

[anne-sophie]

The Adagio Part gives me goosebumps and leaves me speecheless each time. Incredible that Mozart composed this 2 months before he died. This piece remains immortal.

[marialudkin-finnie]

I am 14 years old and am learning this piece right now. It's my dream to someday play it with a full orchestra to play with...

[AndyJones]

I've been playing that piece for 55 years, I have good days, but mostly I have never achieved anywhere near perfection. Being 73 years old and having had lung cancer, I'm now very unlikely to get any better, but I will always enjoy trying.

[dlkpiwd]

What a wonderful as well as great legacy left us humanity it would be that the spirit of Mozart’s music will have been living on forever and ever and never to be dead eternally in the hearts of Mozart lovers all over the world💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
