Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K448 KOCSIS Zoltán - RÁNKI Dezső Recording Date: 1972 00:00 Allegro con spirito 07:31 Andante 17:10 Allegro molto
Interesting you say that because I’ve noticed that performances for two pianos seem to most effective in small venues where the antiphony is enhanced. Ideally they would take place in someone’s living room. Living rooms with two grand pianos are rare, unfortunately, but I happen to know one such living room. In this house the two grand pianos pretty much ARE the living room.
@@herbertwells8757 that's strange. But the audio does seem to come from two sides doesn't it? It's not that one side is only one piano, but upon closing one ear, one of them is heard clearly and the other more softly
Can We all appreciate how well coordinated their double trill is in 12:44 ??????? I MEAN COME ON, trills is such a personal thing to dévelope, how the fuck do they make it sound so in time and coordinated? I need to know
This is why this performance is superb!! It is extremely difficult for duo-pianists to coordinate their playing with such accuracy. This composition by Mozart is a prime example of "call and response." One pianist plays the initial opening thematic statement and the 2nd pianist responds by concluding that statement. Precision playing between the two pianists Is EVERTHING in maintaining the continuity of the rhythm and tempo. One false note and the piece can go off the rails and disaster occurs!
Probably because they had already played together for many years and shared the same teachers at the music academy in Budapest. Kocsis said that even though he and Ránki were very different in personality and temperament, they were like brothers.
This must be an absolute nightmare for the pianists. You're not just staying together rhythmically but you have to match your articulations and dynamics too. Extremely difficult to do, Bravo!
@@nicho588 NiXMV Because in between two dudes is easy to agree or decide what suits best in the performance, but in an orchestra with lets say 60 people, it would be pandemonium. Besides, string quartets, quintets all the way to octets you don't use conductors, and are arguably harder genders of music.
Do you know of any recordings that are at all slower in tempo? All that I've heard are around this same tempo. (Which is probably the correct one, but I'd love to listen to one that's a bit slower, it one exists.)
@@DavidDartley czcams.com/video/tT9gT5bqi6Y/video.html is slightly slower, and brighter than this recording. As to which version of a piece of music is best, the answer is that it is the recording which _you_ prefer. It's an individual's choice, not that of someone who might even be regarded as 'an expert'. An 'ex' is a has-been, and a 'spurt' is a pressurised drip. Make of that whatever you wish! The only real authority is the composer, and he or she might have performed their music quite differently on each occasion.
The thing that I love most about this piece is that the fact that there is a lot of involvement within both pianos, whether it may be an arpeggio, chord, or harmony, which is already clearly stated on the first movement. It's why I love to listen to his chamber works, other than how brilliant his orchestra or concerto works are.
I adore this. They were so young when they recorded it, so gifted and focused- already so excellect, and they only got better. I mourn the death of Kocsis.
the control of these players is absolutely amazing. HOW DO THEY MAKE IT SO CLEAN?!?! If i attempted this it would sound like a sloppy mess. The score looks so unforgiving too! So many notes.
The unmistakable sound of a thoroughly good time being had by all - composer and performers alike. When skill and joy unite in a whirl like this, it really is something to smile about.
Allegro con spirito is just so much fun!! 😄 The constant echoing and going back and forth between each player- it's so playful! I can only imagine how fun this is to play! Makes me always grin from ear to ear. I love this version with having one piano in each ear too, so you really accentuate the switching off!
This is the best rendition I have heard so far. Bright, energetic when necessary. Exactly as Mozart intended it at the time for his student. Other recitals tend to put the modern thinking on it, losing its original force. Others understate and under play the music.
@@astoria2017 just pick a random Mozart piece except the famous ones and give it a listen, you would instantly wonder "why is it not that popular?" That's how consistent Mozart was with his craft.
I loved it! I've not heard this before and it's now one of my favorite Mozart piano pieces. Thank you for all the work you did in preparing this video.
Actually, Josepha Auernhammer was in love with her teacher, Mozart was not at all delighted with her affection for him. But Josepha was an outstanding pianist and his best student.
Zoltan is so perfectly rhythmic and technically adept despite being so young at the time of this recording. This recording is my personal favorite, despite having heard it performed by dozens of virtuoso pianists. Alfred Brendel's performance is a close second, but his softer style doesn't really fit my image of this song.
Andrew Zuehlke I have never heard such a performance like this one. It is my favorite one, and supersedes by a million light years the Angerich/ Baremboim and De Larrocha / Previn versions
I cannot listen to this often enough. This is Mozart at both his most exuberant and most lyrical, packed with gorgeous melody and exploiting the marriage of two players in a tour de force of technical precision and clarity of expression. Awesome.

@@pythagore4350 I wouldn't go so far as to downvote it, but I can't say that I liked it. I found it rather unimaginative, almost like a Czerny etude. It also bothers me that they play legato all the time. I prefer Mozart with a bit more articulation.
Argerich is a superb MUSICIAN if she takes it faster she has very good insights and reasons for doing so.This recording is wonderful and even inspired at moments and this isa great tempo i all the movements.Thanks for posting the score i have always wanted to see how the writing was at certain breathtaking spots.Its amazing the interplay with voices and M no matter what key or harmony is always able to do just the right thing.4hand or2pf works from this period by others?

Вауууууу!
Mozart is the best melody maker. His melody is simple and complex.
It means he manipulates the concepts with optimization.

This music is pure genius. You cannot listen to it and not smile / be affected. What person could possibly dislike it??

What about concerto for 2 or even THREEE pianos? Three pianists and a full size orchestra must stay together perfectly , which is nearly impossible...
ゾルタン・コチシュの弾くロックのようなカッコいいモーツァルトが大好きです。この曲は特に、とても200年前の音楽とは思えない新しさと瑞々しさに満ち、現代のポップスの源流ではないかと常々思っています。惚れ惚れするような素敵な演奏です。

Every time i listen to the Andante....I understand why God wanted Mozart all for himself!!
Beauty from harmony, agility and precision! Molto Mozart! ❤️🎼🎵👏🇮🇪☘️

I love being able to read along with the music ❤️❤️❤️
i fell in love with this tune the moment i first heard Tamaki play it. it always brings a smile to my face!
Gahhh it's so much funnn! I lose it at 3:30, it makes my heart soar!
I love the way the pianos sound
the control of these players is absolutely amazing.
HOW DO THEY MAKE IT SO CLEAN?!?!
If i attempted this it would sound like a sloppy mess.
The score looks so unforgiving too! So many notes.
How? Eat, sleep, PRACTICE. Practice, eat, Practice, sleep . Practice, practice, practice.

A agreeable and confident performance in good tempo. Thanks for turning the partiture pages with it - that making listening even more fun!

Я тоже!
this is my alltime favourite piano duet, it's absolutely amazing. makes me feel so elated haha

@Cartoon show no. Who does?
Not a duet
Yup
Moments of pure brilliance, Kocsis and Ranki the most inspirational modern pianists, and much more👍👏
i love this piece of music very much:) i love mozart~
This recording is especially pleasing, from all the ones I have listened to this is by far the best.
This is literally thrilling! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Why isn't this one of Mozart's most popular pieces? Also, my alternate tempo for the third movement is "Allegro molto, all'ungarese"
Right? I don't get why it is not that popular either

This was the first version of this wonderful work I heard - on an LP bought in Budapest in 1984.
Sounded wonderful then and impossible to beat now

Simplemente de lo mejor.
My favorite performance
This would be great as an orchestral piece. :)
me a encantado esta pieza ........^_^ sigue subiendo mas
I wish we could listen this from nannerl and mozart himself..
a new reason to invent time travel
This is really beautiful
and I heard it can improve mental effect. I definitely need this
It can do it as much as all the other music in the world.
But I personally, would enjoy being improved by This music as well

"Lyrical"?
(of literature, art, or music) expressing the writer's emotions in an imaginative and beautiful way.@@brotherhood7596
@brotherhood7596 Of course That middle movement is supremely lyrical, an intimate dialogue between the two players. C'mon, surely you get it?
Extremely beautiful legato in the 2nd movement
THIS MOZART SONATO FOR 2 PIANOS IS THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH 4 HANDS.
JUST WONDERFUL JOYFUL MUSIC.
I think this tops all of Mozart's solo piano sonatas. This is an absolutely delightful work, from the first note to the last.
Mozart made a great masterpiece!!!
:D
this was great. thanks to all involved, including Mr Mozart. I guess he wrote this up on a lazy weekend for his student.
