On May 27, 1784, Mozart bought a starling in Vienna, which lived with him for three years as a pet. Mozart noticed that the bird, by nature, was very good at repeating the melodies it heard even after very few repetitions. But even more surprising was the little bird's ability to insert personal variations, and it seems that Mozart enjoyed using the starling as a prompter and as a sort of "creative aid" instrument. One day the bird repeated the 17 opening notes of the Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K. 453, which Mozart had composed, with some variations, in particular by inserting a coda on the last bar of the first complete measure and singing a G♯ instead of a natural G in the following measure. It was the starling's version that became the definitive version of Mozart's concerto. On June 4, 1787, the starling passed away. For him, Mozart organized a sumptuous funeral and a worthy burial in the garden of his home and dedicated a passionate funeral poem to his friend.
I just LOVE Mozart and his piano concerto nr 17 is one of my favorites! Especially the third movement is very special to me. During a diffiicult time this movement helped me and gave me strenght and hope! Pure JOY !! Thank you for sharing!!
The sound of both oerchestra and soloist is very nice. They ideally complement each other. the tempos appear me the right ones, in synergy with Mozart's music and expression.

The sound is lovely and the tempo is about right, not sped up as some commenters have stated. However, the pitch is about a semitone too high, so that the music appears to be in the key of A Flat instead of G. User "Sviolinist" is correct about the pitch being lower in Mozart's time, but he/she is mistaken about the effect: if the piece were being performed with instruments tuned to the "standard" pitch of Mozart's time, it would appear to our ears to be in G Flat, a semitone lower, not in A Flat, a semitone higher. (A semitone is a "half-step" to Americans, BTW).
For about three years Mozart kept a pet starling. The opening theme of the third movement of his Piano Concerto No. 17 in G, K. 453 is presumably whta he taught to the bird to sing. According to Mozart's transcription, the starling incorrectly inserted a fermata on the last beat of the first full measure, and sang G sharp instead of G in the following measure.
I'm quite certain that this is Alfred Brendel (piano) and Neville Marriner (conductor), Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. I heard that performance in another youtube video (which later disappeared), and it sounded identical to this.
Ah, excuse my ignorance for this genre of music but I've been listening to this for minutes and it relaxes me. I have heard that Mozart's pieces does have some effect on us depending on our circumstances so may I ask what does this piece do?
You have perfect pitch. Snap out of it. It's not in A-flat it's in detuned G. You know, Mozart's real key. You're basically saying "I don't like how Mozart heard it. Sounds stupid."
Mozart would never write a piano concerto in A flat major. At the end of the day G major in Mozart's day was closer to our A flat major (modern tuning)
Piano stings gloss over the frustration on the upper most limits of imagination. Catacombs weather dark shores and then come onto glorious snippets, follow doe. Foe and troll follow unto torture betrothed.
pues nadie te obligo a escuchar esta musica, debo suponer que eres un escuinclito baboso con su mona en la nariz, esto es cultura en la musica, pero mejor no pierdo el tiempo en niños pendejos y comentarios absurdos
Sobre todo ,respeto ,,solo eso. Hay infinidad de canales y estilos musicales..Prueba con la música tecno.igual ,se trata de buscar el estilo que te gusta,,,,buenos dias.

I just read the same thing by a post from the Daily Factfinder. Pretty amazing!! Why is this not well known
no one is doing piano concertos like Mozart, masterpiece after masterpiece
His are the best by far
Thank you
@@m.zn_11you are a Genius, i love you Wolferl 😍😍
My favorite concerto by Mozart. Truly a masterpiece. Oh wait, all his music are masterpieces!
...This is the beauty of Mozart's music: you don't necessarily have to be highly educated and sophisticated to enjoy it... DELIGHTFUL!...

Third Movement, very special …
What do you think of #22 and #27?
along with the 22, two of the most underestimated concerti. high talent high beuaty and high enchantment
there are no words to express feeling while listening this music
À la Gloire de Dieu.
First movement: 00:00
Second movement: 11:26
Third movement: 21:40

i completely agree, concerto 22 is my favorite mozart piano concerto and it is usually forgotten for the more famous 23.
This is my all-around favorite piano concerto from Mozart.
Once again, Mozart, the master, at work!
the most incredable music ever written. Meo gusto. Thanks!
The sound of both oerchestra and soloist is very nice. They ideally complement each other. the tempos appear me the right ones, in synergy with Mozart's music and expression.
I have heard many other versions and loved them all equally.
This is so beautiful
Hay que escucharlo en su totalidad para apreciar su gran calidad.
Mark de Zabaleta
That ending to the third movement! I can imagine Mozart laughing as he wrote it!
¡Gracias Mozart! Me emociona hasta límites insospechados...
This piece is very optimistic. I can whistle it all the day.
I'd pay to hear that.
:D
what beautiful music
Definitely music good for resurrecting a dormant pineal gland! Praise the Lord!
I love at 5:30 how its switching between minor/major like that! Ugh!
I love 3:40 until 3:45 it takes me back from the 1800's the #CLASSICAL & #ROMANTIC ERA it repeats on the 8:00 through 8:12 I am sooooo mesmerized, I

That major to minor modulation at 5:22!
Smart move, using the subdominant major
the best of the best!
out of options for my headache, let's try some mozart

omg love this channel
Mozart, un amic sempre!
at 14:54 purely angelic
Sounds something Schumann would write
Wow absolutely agree, this sounds like it is in the key of A flat major
I'm quite certain that this is Alfred Brendel (piano) and Neville Marriner (conductor), Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. I heard that performance in another youtube video (which later disappeared), and it sounded identical to this.
thank you.
Tubby Lumpkins Wow, thank you.
@@vangel1443 This is a work of a master pianist and a superb (chamber?) orchestra.
Think u r right, this certainly a male pianist, and the orchestra could very well be St.Martins...
Fabulosa
ИИИСАМО СТВОЯ КОД.
The first 21 minutes was nothing but preparation for the magic to start from 21:30
Jesus, don't make a war just like the music which gave us Wolfgie
lovely
como mozart não tem igual!
Mah nigga Mozart likes to turn up! goddam dis mah jam!!
@Christopher Souter
I believe they tuned closer to 442 in Mozarts time opposed to todays 440.....they tuned higher not lower.
no, it was lower. "A" sometimes was around 418.
Una maravilla de principio a fin, y esa coda del final, sublime

pure joy
Is it here where we can listen to the singing of a starling? Thakns a lot for the vídeo.
it does :| can't unhear
بسیار زیبا !!
БЛАГОДАРЯ ТИ
genial
Has anyone here ever heard the rumor that he wrote this piece for his pet starling
Its truth
Who did Mozart's sunglasses? They're cool!
Julie Gill Ray Ban
Good one!
Despite its surface optimism, this is a dark, troubled work -- particularly in the first and second movements.
No it isnt, why should it be?
It doesnt need to be troubled to be great music. Snob.
@@ignacioclerici5341 Straw man. I made no such claim that great music must be troubled.
Whatever gets you through.
@@ignacioclerici5341This piece is indeed troubled. It's about commemorating Mozarts dead bird.
3:40
beautful. earsex. ive never had my mind so thouroughly soothed. its like abrain massage.
🎼 💗
yup, that would be theme of the last movement.
Did you transpose this?
It's kinda annoying how this recording is in A-flat major not G major... I have trouble following my score
You have perfect pitch. Snap out of it. It's not in A-flat it's in detuned G. You know, Mozart's real key. You're basically saying "I don't like how Mozart heard it. Sounds stupid."
I think it sounds nice sped up. :)
So if this orchestra tuned to the pitch of Mozart's time this would sound like G# or A flat.. a half step higher.
❤
ottima interpretazione, ti piace il pianoforte?????

I love that one best is what I meant
모짜르트다운 사랑스러움...
15:51
Dang near B flat maj to my ear🤔
♥♥♥♥♥
The tuning of Mozart's day was lower. G major is closer to a modern Ab in sound.
Which do you think is better Mozart's time tuning or today's one?
Of course we don't know how it would sound by accuracy.
El segundo movimiento es el más espiritual
My Money is on Geza Anda as the performer.
G?? ...
It sounds in As-dur
역시 모차르트다움
Beautifull hause 14:55
СТЕБ ЩЕЕ ОЩЕ И ОЩЕ ИМН.ПО.
.......you've just said it! ???
why do they do this? G major is so much easier to read
tengo el disco y es mas deliciosa "Andate" aunque esta versión tambien fue muy subjetiva
НЯМА ПРОБА НЕВЕРУЮ.
Everything's half a step higher ugh lol rename this to mozarts piano concerto in A-flat major
Mozart would never write a piano concerto in A flat major. At the end of the day G major in Mozart's day was closer to our A flat major (modern tuning)
But it's true though it sounds like A Flat
Did you know his pet bird (starling ) helped compose this?? Fact
Piano stings gloss over the frustration on the upper most limits of imagination. Catacombs weather dark shores and then come onto glorious snippets, follow doe. Foe and troll follow unto torture betrothed.
Mozart concerto 12
....in other words you don't really like this piece then???
Mitähä vittua
Mitsuko Uchida's version seems a bit better than this one tbh :D
Sinceramente ORRIBLE, me aburro, musica de viejos, musica de velorios, prefiero escuchar reggaeton.
pues nadie te obligo a escuchar esta musica, debo suponer que eres un escuinclito baboso con su mona en la nariz, esto es cultura en la musica, pero mejor no pierdo el tiempo en niños pendejos y comentarios absurdos
tengo 25 años. ya no soy un niño, aunque me gustaria serlo, peo ya no lo soy

Para nada escribió Mozart ,,,partituras de velórios amaba muchisimo la vida....pero que joven murió el pobre,,injusticias de la vida.
Viva Reggaetón,,y como no viva Mozart...
