[Rousseau]

There are almost 100 Rousseau videos since the beginning of the channel and only ONE of them is Mozart! It's time to change that! Starting with something almost every pianist has played at least once in their life, the 1st Mvt of his 16th Piano Sonata. Mozart himself wrote and considered the entire sonata "for beginners", and it often serves as as a way for pianists who are just starting out to learn a piece of a longer length. It holds a dear place in many pianists hearts as one of the most recognizable pieces from their youth. Hope your Monday is great ♥

This is what Mozart expects from beginner pianists.
*gee thanks Mozart*

I think when Mozart called it "a piece for beginners" he was basing it on himself. Remember, we are talking about a musician that learned the piano when he was very little, and he composed his first song when he was 5! I am a teen pianist that is starting Level 8 RCM piano, and I am just starting to learn this song. Thanks for this video!

If Mozart calls this piece "for beginners", then I have the skills of a fetus.

[Rousseau]

So there definitely needs to be more Mozart here - what pieces of his do you want to see?

[ianbean]

Man beginners back then must have skills by instinct

[RealMozart]

Beautiful! How grateful I am that you have played my piece!

[stellacheng]

As a beginner I suggest beginners to begin with pieces Mozart composed before he was 12 before coming to this

This song reminds me of my childhood. My mom was a piano teacher and I always went to work with her. One of the kids always practiced this. Love the song

I am officially a *beginner* now that I’ve completed the piece.

[Rousseau]

How old were you when you first played this piece?

[blacksheep]

So far one of the best interpretations I've heard...
For some reason many pianists tend to play this at a very high speed, and I get that it's an "allegro", but a musician when performing a piece should be aware of when it was composed, and at the time when Mozart came around, the allegro was interpreted a little slower compared to now. I appreciate you got that pretty accurate.

Can you do Beethoven sonata Pathétique next please? It's one of my favorite Beethoven works!

[armchairgeneral]

I am 31, I started playing piano in Novmeber 2023, and through work and dedication I can finally play this piece at Rousseau speed. My teacher is very happy!

[kevinturner]

Mozart always has such energy in his music compares to other composers imo

[sfsnoob]

Imagine if Mozart Created "Simply Piano"

[logically]

Oh what a coincidence i practiced this piece today to bring up nostalgia and i see Rousseau play this



-and figured out that i sucked 😩-

[SamudraFlavorsYT]

0:37 I can never stop my smile here, no matter how hard I try... it’s just so beautiful

*Mozart:* This piece is for beginners

*Me:* If this is for beginners then I'm a maggot
