Muscle memory is definitely a part of it, but don't be mistaken because he certainly is thinking about it... he's playing along with the music in his head. This helps the brain and fingers sync. Technically, we cannot feel without thought, and without feel, all he will think about is "don't screw up". And we all know the usual results lol
@@hello-rq8kf any professional guitarist will say the same, but i'm sure you're at the level of the likes of paco de lucia to be saying such moronic things
This piece of music was written originally for harpsichord or piano, but I believe that it immensely more difficult to play on the guitar. To master this piece requires not only dexterity, but an incredible amount of memory. There may be only a handful of guitarists in the world that can play this. Music, Maestro!
This is truly one of the most amazing things you can hear on a guitar. I myself play classical guitar, violin, piano and various types of accordion. No instrument is easier than the other. I play march A la Turka on the piano and I certainly know how difficult it is and would never even come up with the, for my part, damned idea to give me on it for guitar. But Williams Kanengiser really plays it in an absolutely masterful way and makes all the episodes come into their own. Even the broken octaves and the most difficult of all on the piano, I think, at the end of the piece where the left hand on the piano plays in the same rhythm as the right ditto.
@@guiguijol not posting my identity on youtube so i can prove myself to a literal nobody. here's a piece i can play that is harder than turkish march, also objectively light years better musically czcams.com/video/3F9AY3GODDk/video.htmlsi=aInWFaBUVGrJjwc9
First I thought it was impossible to play this masterpiece on guitar until I watch this amazing man play it flawlessly. I can watch this video a whole day long.
You must practice all day on the classical guitar, you must have ambition like Bruce Lee, all this so your compositions will be remembered it's the joyful life of a virtuoso composer to live in public view instead of hiding in the shadows of the old masters
Ha ha ha - hell yeah!!! This man has the perfect features for a weathered romantic looking bronze or marble monument to be raised where musicians, the lonely and the twisted may pay homage!!! Hail to The Mastery!!!
I studied classical guitar at USC in 1987 and Wil was my instructor. He played this for me and I was blown away. He had this little trick trill he did with his right hand when he played it at the time (not played in this version) but I can honestly say that after watching him play it that I never wanted to learn a song more.
Bill is the kind of musician who really doesn't have to try very hard. He just leans back lets his fingers do the work, and he enjoys the music. Having seen him in person he is phenomenal.
I hadn't watched this in a long time. I just showed this to my almost 10 year old daughter who (finally) recently asked me for guitar lessons. I remember learning (more like correcting) my right hand finger technique from Mr. Kanengiser's instructional video way back when. He opens up that instructional video with a performance of this piece. Flawless technique. So so jealous!
My husband too was a guitar player I watch him played mauro Giuliani piece Beethoven too..but this dude has played something I haven't seen in my entire life..Woo.. Mind blowing.. Dude.. ❤
Ive been playing for 30 years and without a doubt, hands down the best guitar work ive ever seen bar none! The bar has just been raised far out of sight and now I know for sure, mastery such as this I can never reach!
This guy seemed to have the time of his life playing Mozart. Something Gen-Zs and Millennials don’t seem to appreciate is that classical music inspires so much of today’s music. What a shame.
The dislikes here are from people who are musical morons and who can not appriciate classical music. I give the performance here two thumbs up. Here you have a piece, not written specifically for one handed play, being executed flawlessly by a master guitarist. Pieces such as Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca and Beethoven's Fur Elise are not easy to play on intruments not having the use of an independent left and right hand as you would on the piano or organ. William Kanengiser is truly among the best who have played the guitar regardless of genre. And speaking of great guitarists, John Williams and Gary Ryan of the U.K. are masters, as is John Feely of Ireland. Ana Vidovic of Croatia I would add among the greats, too. Two ladies from China, Meng Su and Li Jie are great guitarist as well. For jazz, check out George Benson and Earl Klugh, two greats in their own right. I know he does not play the guitar, but Lang Lang of China is an absolute genius on the piano.
maybe they just didnt like his interpretation very much. i cant imagine many non-fans of classical music would end up here, right? I quite liked it btw.
Only if you are a guitarist yourself can you fathom the incredibility and greatness of this performance. The skill and mastery of the instrument that is required to play this piece on the guitar and so beautifully is at a level far beyond what even most 'masters of the guitar' can imagine. Before I saw this video I did not even think that it was possible to play the Rondo Alla Turca justifiably on the guitar. When I saw the thumbnail of this video - I was extremely curious as to how this piece can ever be played on the guitar - after watching this video I am stunned - it far exceeded my expectations. This is one of the most incredible performances (in terms of difficulty, skill, beauty) on the guitar that I have ever seen.
God! I couldn`t think of a better interpretation for this piece! He plays like he is playing a tune for his family barbecue, with such a fluidity! And he really grasps the soul of the music with those perfect staccatos. I would never be able to play like this.
In all seriousness, the people downvoting this video need to be seriously studied for scientific reasons. Have a feeling not liking this video is related to many things not right with the human brain.
When muscle memory over takes thought. You can see the sheer enjoyment in his face.
When you overcome thought you can achieve anything hey....
@@blaZinthemBudz hey??

Yes, the fingers know the way.
"overtakes" not "over takes"; it's one word
people can't realize how much time this guitarist spent practicing ... that's unbelievable congratulations 👏
I would said 10 years of hard work, and some talent. But it's mostly hard work.
this isnt that hard bro
@@hello-rq8kf yes it is. its a monstrously difficult piece for guitar
@@MysterioFan02 i'm sure it is for you
@@hello-rq8kf any professional guitarist will say the same, but i'm sure you're at the level of the likes of paco de lucia to be saying such moronic things
0:49 always my favourite part of this. Non guitar players have no idea how hard this stuff is to actually play.
i do my very best :) and tbh it goes amazingly well
1:37 😍
how hard it is to play... octaves?
@@hello-rq8kf It's more th timing and very precise arpeggios etc. It's a lovely thing to learn in guitar tho. I'm not even there myself with it yet.
@@hello-rq8kf It’s not too difficult to play octaves, but to play octaves with a melody on the bass strings is far more difficult.

There are thousands who can play it.
Today's guitarists value difficulty over content..
He doesn't play all of it and I don't think all of the piano version can be played on a guitar.

I think Uli Jon came up with the crazy idea to play it on guitar a decade ago, because hes armed with an extra octave to get the violin sound.
it's not hard bud
@@hello-rq8kf Film yourself playin it and post it then, I'm curious.

If anyone remember the movie Crossroads with Ralph Macchio, when he played pieces from this tune it was William Kanengiser who was really playing.
i do remember,...so hard ijn france to find that movie,...i ve watched it through youtube, 10 clips 10 minutes each,...
wasnt it steve vai?
really? i never knew that thats pretty awesome
No Steve Vai played the electric guitar classical parts
Just watched that movie tonight for the first time in years, one of my old favorites!
The intriguing part is how well he balances the bass notes and trebles. Good indicator for how talented this man is.
Joshua Smith very true because this song is REALLY hard because I’m starting to learn this song and it’s pretty hard
First I thought it was impossible to play this masterpiece on guitar until I watch this amazing man play it flawlessly. I can watch this video a whole day long.
Isn't a exactly execution...but is a wonderful interpretation....

There should be a statue of this man somewhere so we can go light candles and pay homage to mastery of the guitar

This was like 7 years ago, I was a kid, wonder what he's like now
@@flamenconeil4814 it's Bill Kanengiser. There are some recent videos of him if you search. Still rocking it.
The dynamics are so beautifully done, something that even some very skillful players struggle with. The subtle variations are breathtaking.
Oh my god!!!
This playing can't be real!!
So enjoyed.
Master.
Not many can or have performed this song ,at this level.
So flawless.
All the dislikes must be from disappointed ladies who noticed the ring on his finger.
Jennie Eriksson HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!
+Jennie Eriksson LOL
+Jennie Eriksson youre funny
Nice one dude
loll your comment so clever
Mozart is beautiful. This man just played a whole symphony on the guitar. Respect!!
he plays with his eyes closed😊
i play romance de amour with my eyes wide open and my mouth scream everytime my finger missed the guitar strings
🤣🤣🔥🔥
Hahaha hahaha. Lmao. Thanks
Haha but don't worry. Me too.
2:28 holy mother fuck. I get why this guy smiles all the way through. Just amazing.
Rondo alla Turca alla Excellent! Wolfgang is smiling ear to ear!
It’s incredible how smooth are those jumps are

I can not even imagine getting close to this level of talent
This man is a Classical genius!... I love his playing!... For a Classical player...You Rock!
Insanely clean, known how to play this piece for a while and I still can't play it THIS clean. This man has true mastery over this instrument.
Классическая гитара, классическая игра. Потрясающе талантливое исполнение! БРАВО!!!

Es increíble tanta maestría al tocar, no es simplemente la dificultad de la pieza sino la manera de ejecutarla.
Pianist: This Is Easy
Guitarist: Hold My Capo
Asombroso/ Espectacular...Esa cancion ha de ver significado para este guitarrista miles de horas de practica...
Maestro de la Guitarra, Excelente Interpretación.!!!!!!
his left hand is perfect 💯
A real masterpiece!! Outstanding player!!!
of all the versions i've listen to, this one has the most emotional impact... bravo
one of the best version that i ever heard of this piece.
Nearly perfect execution. Mesmerizing.
Everyone who knows something about music will see why this performance was one the best ever
2:53 made tear up the little hammer on's are so cool leading up to that cool cascade of melody
Barbaro !!! Eres un genio simplemente un genio Mozart se pondria de pie Al escucharte tocar su famosa matcha turca
A true master. No Equal on his level.
Mesmerizing like Mozart ! In awe
I'm not a musical professional by any means, but I would not have thought this song possible to play with a guitar! This master gets all the credit!
Absolutely brilliant .... best on CZcams. Mozart would be happy.
Wow, great dynamics, superb dexterity and great strong tone. love it!!
I used to learn classic guitar when I was high school student, and then I stop learning. Now I regret it so much.
alzauri fatahillah
Pick it back up!
Mr. Kanengiser, after all these years, your interpretation of a Rondo Alla Turca stays untouchable on the top!
He played this for me when I attended USC in 1987 and he was teaching there. Blew me away then, blows me away now.
Soo many dislikes? How bizarre, that was a fantastic piece of music. Strange.
como toca perfeiramentre parecendo um piano .. Congratss and thank you..
The best guitar version of that piece i have ever seen! Dude played it clean and right on!
His smile while playing is infectious. I find myself smiling while watching this. Enjoyed this more than I should. He's an amazing guitar player. 💖
Hay q tener pelotas para tocar esta pieza...
Excelente!👏👏👏👏
Dois gênios: Mozart e seu intérprete!!
Blows my mind to be able to play such a complex piano piece on guitar and capture it so well
I hadn't watched this in a long time. I just showed this to my almost 10 year old daughter who (finally) recently asked me for guitar lessons.

jesus christ! this is a masterpiece! the look of satisfaction after he completed the shred is so good
1:06 he is getting the part I can't get for years and ads bass notes 1:20 he is starting to have fun
Been there.... kkkk
Incredible performance. The fact that he is smiling so often shows just how masterful and skilled this man is.
love this guy's work!!!
Get a man who looks at you like this man looking at his guitar
solo puedo decir...wow. esta pieza siempre me gusto en piano. pero es admirable esta version
My husband too was a guitar player I watch him played mauro Giuliani piece Beethoven too..but this dude has played something I haven't seen in my entire life..Woo.. Mind blowing.. Dude.. ❤

Brilliant!!!!!!!!! A Great Guitar Player is Kanengiser...
The first time I listenned this song in a guitar that I like. Very good!

Mozart the best rocker of the history
Just one Word : incredible
Such a beautiful composition.
How sharp and on point every movement is. He plays so evenly. His genius brain is ruled out by his medulla spinalis 😯
What a great performance! Amazing! :)
what a badass, amazing playing
The split octaves were truly amazing. Spectacular performance!
Men, congrass!!! Even you are not the creator, but what you did is simply beautiful!!! What a sensitive soul.
These Robots are amazing 😉😁
Why so many dislikes?!?!?! THUMBS UP!!
Who tf disliked this? This guys on some next level shit. He’s literally a living lifetime of talent
This is absolutely astonishing played with real feeling as well.
2:40 Best part
absolutely. the end
Perfecto. Bravissimo!

Being a metal guitar lover, I love this too..
Yea Lang Lang is a very fast pianist..
think you commented enough there, eh buddy?
If there were a pornhub for music, this would top it forever. Probably somewhere in "Hardcore" category.

muito muito muito bom...👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Absolutely brilliant so tight from start to finish and the dynamic was excellent throughout
He is not from this planet. Kudos to his hard work and dedication 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My fingers would be dropping off after this
Any time I need to feel frustrated, I pick up the score. Got 6 bars in 15 years.
William, you are the best guitarist I've ever come across.
you've seriously never heard of john williams?
God! I couldn`t think of a better interpretation for this piece! He plays like he is playing a tune for his family barbecue, with such a fluidity! And he really grasps the soul of the music with those perfect staccatos. I would never be able to play like this.

they are just jealous imo
Maybe they are pianists. Only the Well Tempered Clavier sounds better on guitar than piano.
everyone. Knows that we are the superior beings .that is why. You never hear us crying in justice. We simply do things and dominate the world.
This is so insane! Doesn't even have to read sheet music to play the whole thing! Bravo!
The legendary classical player ever..God Bless❤❤❤
how can anyone dislike this??
They missed the like button and were too lazy to change it.
if one can play it slowly one (like me) have to learn it quickly (like him);-) very very cool thank you
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA LING LINGS
The best interpretation I ever seen, clean playing and flawless technique.
How is he playing so fast yet precisely
