So as not to hijack Tom's thread, this was linked on the YouTube Page: How to Play the Turkish Rondo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3bRPyxfK4s&feature=related |

That song is so above my level, but it's been my goal for years. I'll get it someday! |

Hands look painfully tense to me- no wonder it comes off like choppy sea water. I like relaxed playing like this teen's take on Tico Tico and Besame Mucho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn-l47863vk&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S31vDckEIUg&feature=related |

That was really painful to watch, George. |

I started that Mozart sonata last May. I love the 1st movement, and the 2nd is pretty cool too. I decided NOT to learn the 3rd, just out of spite. Unfortunately, I did. However, I have to admit that (at least for me) it's hard. At least at tempo. |

By far the hardest part of K331 is the last page of the first movement. It's a little muthaf-er that I can never ever ever play cleanly. |

The Sonata in A can be a beast in the first mvmt. I never much liked the rondo. Overplayed, not even that catchy as far as Mozart goes. ![]() The only beneficial thing I have ever taken from it is by making the section with the long right hand runs into an exercise. Just play the right hand melody in both hands. Good for unison and dexterity. |

Yes. Measures 7-8 of the last variation. Measures 13-18 of the last variation. They are the suxorz. |
