Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner Silly question: What is the name of this piece by Mozart?

I'm sorry guys for asking this really silly question by it has been killing me so badly. Please, could you tell me the name of this piece at 1:14?

That starts, at least, with a part of the A minor Sonata.

Vesivian,

1:14 is from his C minor Fantasy K.396.

Yes -- it's a little tough because it's not the beginning of the piece, or of a part of the piece. It starts in the middle of the development section.

At 0:34 it switches to the slow movement of a piano concerto that I don't recognize. I don't know either what it is that starts at 1:12 (which was what the OP asked about).

My goodness-- I knew one that Mark didn't know! I'll have to blog about this!

(Actually, I had to look it up. But I had a suspicion, and so I knew where to look.)

Just realize that about 10,000,000 other people could also do that about 10,000,000 other things!

They're already answered your questions, but that's not a silly question at all! Thanks for asking... We get threads like this periodically, and it's fun (at least, for some of us; I can't speak for everyone) to go on "the hunt" to see what it is.

The piece around 34 seconds into the video is the 2nd movement of Mozart's 9th Piano Concerto, K. 271. The video also includes the following works from Mozart:
1:50: Sonata for violin and piano in E Minor, K. 304, 2nd movement
2:22: Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola, and orchestra, K. 364
3:51: Piano Concerto 24, K 491, 1st movement
4:28: Piano Concerto 23, K. 488, 2nd movement
5:12: Piano sonata in A Minor, K. 310, 2nd movement

I recommend listening to all of these works in their entirety. Each one is an incomparable masterpiece.
