File:KV279 1 P1.ogg

English: For a kid, in my memory, there was a sonata named KV 279 of Mozart. It's the first movement, as a new beginning in the past when I found its characteristics met the development of one of my kids' personalities - was very funny, sunny, smart, with a little bit of childishness and was always dedicating himself in expressive performances in life. Then, I decided to make it into our plan of his piano tutorials.

Indeed, it was a big challenge of both us that I had few chances to touch Mozart's works in my childhood. Meanwhile, Mozart's ornamentations (such as tr., depending notes in small shape, rotating notes, some jumping scale-phrases, small slurs among smooth legatos and some continuing up-sliding notes with fioriture style in Coloratura soprano singing ... ) were quite difficult, smart, delicate, sweet, fluent and flexible, which need long-time trainings. They were like 'you were playing a kid's toy but never able to get the perfection'. Then, you were continuing and continuing; and, more curiosities and interests were self-reflected out from this procedure. I thought it's what Mozart's heritages left to us - 'never tired eyes to discover beauties from kid's universe'. Further imagining: During the year 1774 when Mozart was 18 years old, it made this piece. What a beautiful world Salzburg left in his eyes - a good employment as a court musician, lots of friends, many demands for his compositions among different instruments (especially violin concertos, which I thought also influenced his creations of piano sonata and some ornamentations' techniques)... Oh, though finally, things began to turn bad that he played out most of his beautiful youth, but still cannot get a good salary and the total acceptance... (Oh, Mozart, you needed to forget those unnecessary issues. Your own giftedness was already what gifts Lord has given to the earth...) Following it, this style has almost ended... But, a angelic, bright, joyful, clean and pure youth has been recorded into manuscripts, which was what we needed to say: thanksgiving! In my mind, Mozart's sonatas were truly recording his emotional changes from nature - the happiness, the willing of expression, some grey sadness, fears of mind-aging, some storms rising from heart-sea (especially the beginning of my 2nd part), and some mind-solutions... In order to grasp them - those changing abstracts for better communications with this master composer, Sonata form-analysis was quite important. Wikipedia introduction - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No._1_(Mozart) - would give us some enlightenments. When I began my lessons with kids, I also put it as a very important thinking-training to my kids and myself. Indeed, some boundaries were sometimes fuzzy and discussable; but it was like to review a mind-journey of creations left funny senses and 'a positive heart searching sun-rising direction' were what we can cherish for our own lives. Till here, you would ask me: 'Jason, why did you divide it - a whole movement into two parts?' 'Oh, naughty boy or girl... I am quite sorry there were two reasons: firstly, I feared my techniques would breakdown which made the whole melody couldn't last to final coda. Though it was LIVE effect that you might say small breaks in classroom edition were allowed merely you can re-pick up in time and renew it in future; to my own heart, I might also feel somethings lost...' Every time's try, in my heart, I was all willing it could be a better edition of certain periods in my life... even my hands cannot. But, finally, I found in Part 2, 'mistaken sliding note to other key' still happened - it was a E in Bar100, which students could try to point it out. Indeed, the whole coda part wasn't satisfactory. Secondly, in emotional colours, g minor shift in flatten B system would mean a relative grey storm was forming from Mozart's heart-sea. It's a new development which we can taste more funs in this journey... Finally, thanks to the original manuscript from Breitkopf & Hartel Company and the University of the Arts Berlin, which allow me and my kids touch Mozart's original thoughts of ornamentations and dynamics in his works and emotions, for better LIFE Recoveries. Give a 'like'! A better edition will come out in the future! Thanks to all! Let us listen to KV279's first movement!
