Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific … Read Full Bio ↴Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition resulted in more than 800 works of virtually every Western classical genre of his time. Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoire. Mozart is widely regarded as among the greatest composers in the history of Western music, with his music admired for its "melodic beauty, its formal elegance and its richness of harmony and texture".

Born in Salzburg, then in the Holy Roman Empire and currently in Austria, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. His father took him on a grand tour of Europe and then three trips to Italy. At 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position.

While visiting Vienna in 1781, Mozart was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He stayed in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years there, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas. His Requiem was largely unfinished by the time of his death at the age of 35, the circumstances of which are uncertain and much mythologized.

Compare this poetic performance of K 330 with the others posted on YouTube and it will be clear how far Zimerman stands above the others. Runs like strings of pearls, not rushed, hurried, but natural. And the breathing of phrases, shaping, and tension. Thank you for posting. Wonderful.

It is such a pity that this hasn't been recorded with a better quality, especially for the audio.

I have a lot to learn about how to use the pedals. Though I practice the piano myself I didn't know him before I watched this video, now I know that he was being considered one of the best pianists.

Not just the Chopin performer. This is the great thing about Zimerman, He can play Chopin and sound like Chopin, He can play Liszt and sound like Liszt, He can play Schubert and sound like Schubert, He can play Brahms and sound like Brahms.

And all that seemingly effortlessley, He is simply THE Best pianist to ever have lived. I doubt there is anybody that could do better as there simply is no room for improvement here.

@chester6343

@@mateuszloniewski absolutely, this is unreal, anyone who plays piano classically and listens to this can relate to this comment. This performance is utterly insane, he's got so much control over the piano. It's assumed it's easy to get a piano to sound like that, it's so not, that level of detail is scary, every note he plays is attended to.

This video is one of those videos that reminds me when I'm feeling good about my own playing that I will never be able to achieve the sound this man can conjure on a piano. It's not a negative thing either like jealousy. It's just absolute respect to him, the work to get to this level of mastery is only attainable by dedicating your entire life to it and for that I'm not willing to completely sacrifice but this guy has and this is where you end up, in pure heaven when you can play such beautiful music. Every time I watch him perform it's a truly humbling experience and tonight I've returned to listen to and watch this man's perfect technique deliver some of the most careful mozart anyone has ever heard. Thank technology for saving this performance for the future generations that are keeping the music alive. Also for anyone that disagrees, put decent ear phones on.

Edit. I forgot to add that the reason I think his sound is so unique is that I'm sure its zimmerman that plays on his own action that he regulates, pretty sure I read it somewhere, it's what sets his play it apart imo if that's true, the thing with playing the piano is that you're always playing different instruments which feel totally different to your own piano which you practice on all the time, however he's playing on his piano by the way it feels and that's really important, some musicians struggle more than others with this.

Perhaps a pianist interprets a composer better than others, I am for Glen Gould when it comes to JS Bach, and Poliini for Beethoven. I know K330 well, and have listened to it many times by different pianists. But yes, Zimerman has a pace and feeling for the timbre of this piece which exceeds all recordings I have heard. I agree a superb performance. My problem is when I find perfection, then I can listen to no other. For K330 it now has to be Zimerman.

I discovered him looking for the best rendition of Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca", and his was above and beyond anyone else's.
Since then he's become my favorite for many pieces, including some where I always considered Horowitz (who remains my overall favorite) unsurpassable.
Zimerman, Horowitz, Trifonov, Pletnev, Richter, those are my clear favorites across the ages. (Yes, Rubinstein is great but not always to my taste.)

Martin Alvarado Zimerman never liked to have more than a few of his videos on YouTube. This is his only recording of Mozart currently on YouTube. However, all is not lost. Search for (do not include the quotation marks) "Mozart Grinberg", "Mozart Uchida Piano Concerto", "Mozart Pires", and "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj". I personally love " "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj K 448". Surprisingly enough it is very difficult for pianists to play Mozart. To quote a concert pianist friend of mine, "Too much music - too few notes". Mozart was the ultimate composer in terms of efficiency - there were no superfluous notes and that is what makes him hard to play.

@JohnWWang

+Gerry Rains I think you may have meant Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.8. Sorry to point it out.

Mr. Zimmerman, I've seen your videos (scarcely) before, but today after listening to your Chopin's Scherzo & seeing your 1975 performance of one of the Mazurkas, & now this Mozart piece, my attention is totally captured. Maybe I gravitated to the color change of your hair, which implies a rich history, so then I knew I was in for a treat if I continued to explore your performances; & what a treat it is. The flick of the hand at the end of this piece really summed up the great spirit behind this performance. . . it was like "get out of here, homie don't play dat!". Your gift is obviously extraordinarily amazing. I am truly inspired. Thank you for the awesome works!!!

I have yet to see better interpretation than this one by Zimerman. I have listened to Pletnev, Horowitz, and Uchida, but this one is still my favourite.

Yes, I know the video is out of sync with the audio. I've implored those more technically savvy than I to tell me how to fix the issue and no one has been able to, yet. If you know how, PM me and I'll fix it.

What amazes me about his playing style is his capability of playing the music so innocently with such elegance. Mozart is especially difficult because you must have this airy, innocent, pleasant sound, but his music always has some kind of tension and seriousness that makes it extremely difficult to play. Most amateur musician tend to play Mozart too 'allegro' and 'jumpy' and tend to miss the point of what Mozart really wanted to say in the music. Zimmerman nailed Mozart in both aspects and to be honest, I've not heard a better interpretation of this piece in youtube. He beats every musician with this piece. It just astounds me!! The only way to master Bach and Mozart is to restrain the flow of your emotion by trying to keep it as simple as possible. Perhaps, this is the reason why I have an easier time practicing something like "La Campanella" in violin than Mozart Violin Concerto No 5 in A major. I never seem to be satisfied playing his sonatas and concertos...

He uses more rubato in the slow movement than I have heard in other performances. Very effective. He really brings out the melody line, too.

7:00 In this movement so many surprisingly beautifull and coherent themes,only Mozart and his brilliant musical idea! in this case (I think) above the pianistic resources.

This movement is immensely beautiful. His playing brings a quality to it... So far haven't found a better version on YouTube.. Something almost ethereal about his...

Bruh I’m listening to this while looking at my own sheet music because I’m learning this for grade 9, I’m not very good at timing it’s just never been my jam but this helps a tremendous amount! Just by watching I can feel his movements, he’s amazing❤ listening to songs also helps me decide if I actually want to play them because I know what they sounds like. Idk I’m rambling but I’m very grateful for this video and this man!
