She's a rare kind of person that can let you learn rather than force information down your throat. Wonderful video.

Excellent advice and analysis for students of piano as well as lovers of music in general. Thank you for sharing with us your passion for, and deep insights into, Mozart!

Mozart and his conversations. I maintain that his piano concertos are operas, just ones we're not privy to understand the words of. But you can certainly understand the crowd gathering, individual voices dominating from the crowd, scenes in the gardens with young lovers, and the return of the crowd – or whatever story Mozart's music is telling you. But I firmly believe he conceived his music vocally, not necessarily singing voices, but individual voices telling a story.

Anyone who hasn’t watched her recording of Strauss’s Burleske, it’s incredible I can’t recommend it enough.

Incredible lesson! Very sad that it’s not full. I enjoyed every second of it !

[lloydlim]

Very helpful lesson. This piece is deceptive in that it looks fairly easy, but it’s not—if you try to get all the sound/nuances right.

“La donna è mobile” in this Mozart sonata… I didn’t know lol

[stephenbeckman]

I've always struggled to play Mozart well and for sure this video shows how subtle the techniques are for creating that classic "Mozart" sound!

[annecheng]

The word 'simple' doing a lot of heavy lifting there. :)

I don’t understand the beginning articulations . There are two notes slurs . She played a long one instead .

[NidusFormicarum]

The point of the opening melody is that the sonata starts as if it was a sceond theme followed by the end group. It doesn't belong to my favourite Mozart piano pieces though. I prefer the later, more chambermusically versed and more tehnically advanced Mozart. The second movement of his last piano sonata would be one example.

Subtítulos en español por favor, gracias.

Sara, wonderful to hear you play and explain at the keyboard. <3

[kliberalsing]

I recommend taking all this good advice with a pinch of salt. If it works to improve your own playing, it is good, if it doesn't punish yourself. Mozart would probably be happy listening to less-than-perfect interpretations.

I like the alberti bass and legato tricks ! Thank you :)

I hear her ages ago in the Sydney Piano competition...and thought when I heard her she should surely be the winner...alas, that is not the way competitions so often go

[markito]

The sound of the piano recording is ugly. The voice is nice.
