MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus

I. Allegro aperto

Hansjörg Schellenberger, professor

Bengü Aktan, student

Alina Artemyeva, accompanying pianist

Before the student performs the movement of the Concerto, Schellenberger mentions that the best edition for this work is that of Breitkopf and explains why. For the professor, the cadence made by the student is very good but needs some more motifs extracted from the thematic material of the movement. In general, the intonation has not been controlled and this is due to the lack of correct support and control in the vibrato. In addition, the professor points out that there are “grammatical” errors: the accentuation must always be in the first part of the bar, the first trill must always start from the note above, and the descending sequence that is repeated several times must be articulated the same (always legato), the slurs do not change. He also talks about the structure of the composition: phrases of two bars, two, half and one bar, and this must always be kept in mind when playing.
Afterwards, they resume from the beginning, and they work in more detail on all the musical aspects that can be improved.
