Reflection, in C minor
Well I have yet to learn this piece, though I do have the sheet music and said I would last summer. Maybe this summer, I'll put it in there.
In fact, my best friend who is studying piano as well performed it this semester, and did it for her jury. She played it well.
As I haven't stated the piece yet, it's Mozart's Fantasie in C Minor, K475. It was written when Mozart was 29 years old in 1785
The Fantasia is one of very few works Mozart composed in C minor during his years in Vienna. Because of the formal freedom traditionally associated with such pieces, the composer was able to produce in the Fantasia a notably expressive example of keyboard music; in contrast to the prescriptions of traditional forms, the Fantasia instead draws upon Mozart's intuition and supreme sensitivity as a composer and pianist.
The performer in the video is Tamara Poddubnaya, from the Gould Academy.
