Mozart - Fantasia and Sonata in C minor,
K.475 & K.457

Movie Description from YouTube

A performance of what is arguably one of Mozart's most significant pieces of piano music, given by me on Sunday, January 13th 2013. Programme notes from the concert: The overwhelming majority of Mozart's works are in Major keys, so when he writes in a minor key he usually has something highly personal to communicate. The fantasia and Sonata in C minor are certainly no exception to this. Although the sonata was composed first, the two works were published together with the Fantasia preceding it. The two pieces can be, and often are, performed independently but played together cover a vast range of Mozart's compositional style and expression, forming a work as substantial in it's scope as Beethoven's Quartet in B flat with the great Fugue. Bach, Mozart and Beethoven were all famous for their outstanding improvisational skills at the keyboard; The Fantasia is perhaps the closest we will ever get to experiencing what an improvisation by Mozart might have been like. It's two outstanding characteristics are it's rapid use of many different keys (eleven on the first two pages alone) and it's use of many different styles, from austere octaves at the beginning melting into lyrical melody, contrapuntal writing, dramatic episodes, rapid passage work, scales, a leisurely aristocratic minuet and back again to the opening octaves. After the improvisatory freedom of the Fantasia, the Sonata established a stricter balance of classical symmetry. The outer movements contrast passages of passionate urgency with sections of lyrical warmth often in the relative Major of E flat (a key studiously avoided in the Fantasia). E flat is also the key of the slow movement - an operatic aria rising, at times, to the inspired heights of the other sections of this marvelous and sublime work of art.

Mozart's Sonata in D for 2 pianos, K.448 by Murray Parahia and Radu Lupu Clifford Curzon playing the B-flat Piano Concerto (no.27, KV. 595) I'm unsure whether these recordings are available online, but they are on a disk. If you'd like the files I can send you them privately, just send me a message. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and read the description.
