Hearing this harpsichord gives me a new appreciation why composers from this era wrote so many notes: with no real sustain on the notes they had to keep the music moving somehow.
During Mozart's life the piano was evolving and improving quickly. So it's true that he played on a similar instrument to the one in this video but also he had access to earlier pianos with a more mellow sound. In Mozart's house museum in Salzburg there is one of his pianos and it sounds like a half way between harpsichord and modern piano.
Thank you for pointing this out, i was searching if somebody had already said this. Later half of his piano concertos weren't composed for harpsichord anymore. I would say one can even hear from this video that nr 21 Andante clearly was composed with different instrument in mind.
Mozart was more a clavichordist and a harpsichordist than pianist. That have been researched. Yes, he played fortepiano, but he still played a lot the harpsichord and the clavichord. And the instrument he most played was the clavichord. By the way, Beethoven did also played harpsichord and clavichord. He played it even during 19th century.

By the way, this is actually an early pianoforte, not a harpsichord. The harpsichord plucks the strings whilst the pianoforte strikes the strings. During this period the piano was in development and all sorts of hammer variations and actions were being used.
At last Mozart played as it was then. It's true that at the end of the 18th century the harpsichord was quickly evolving and the early piano-forte were available, but not the piano we know today and on which Mozart is always played. So thank you !

There are people who call themselves classical music listeners who think that Mozart's music is boring, superficial, repetitive etc. These people don't deserve to have ears.
"Mozart is the highest, the culminating point which beauty has reached in the sphere of music. Nobody has made me cry and thrill with joy, sensing my proximity to something that we call the ideal, in the way that he has." (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky)
I was taught some of these pieces on a piano by a harpsichordist when I was a child. But when I tried them on a harpsichord I found I completely lacked the technique to get a regular rhythm. Well done!
@@CrazyGamer-1944 glad I'm not the kind of person who would click! Because of piano in the name, I was assuming it was a piano video and didn't look closely at the link spelling
The first forty-five seconds of this video could've been called "The names of songs you've heard a million times, but don't know the names of, that Mozart wrote." Honestly, even though the names are the first things that stick out in my mind, I'm glad I got to hear them on a harpsichord :)
@@danielmarquesmacedo6864 Mozart was a prodigy and could basically write down pieces from his head, most others would have worked through slower though
@@danielmarquesmacedo6864 This is true. The "Mozart wrote entire symphonies in his head" story is a romanticized view of Mozart's abilities. And it also gives a very misleading idea of what composition is. Full compositions don't just randomly appear into people's minds. Instead, people start from a short musical idea that they start to develop. Compositions need a structure - a good composition has the right balance of repetition and contrast. And if you want your composition to have a structure, you don't really come up with the full piece in your mind and then just write it down. Even if the general flow between the ideas comes to you spontaneously, those ideas still need some "polishing" in order to sound coherent and purposeful and avoid a "rambling" feeling. Mozart was definitely exceptionally talented, but if you study his pieces, it's pretty obvious that they are well-thought out. They use motifs in a consistent way and have a clear logical structure behind them. If Mozart really had written everything spontaneously in his head, then his music would sound much more like improvisation - it would be much more "free-flowing". You can hear some more free-flowing pieces if you listen to his Fantasias, but most of Mozart's pieces have a very clear structure behind them. Mozart did like to play his ideas on the piano to develop them into full compositions, and he did also write sketches. Now, Mozart was most likely a master of these structures, so coming up with a piece with a logical structure probably didn't take much effort from him. But he definitely didn't compose full symphonies in his head and then just notate them. Good compositions aren't 100% spontaneous. They do have an element of spontaneity to them (because otherwise they will feel too rigid or formulaic), but a completely spontaneous composition will feel formless and like it doesn't know what it's trying to say. It's the difference between a spontaneous speech vs a well-thought out speech. Even if someone is really good at giving speeches, you would still expect them to do some preparation before the speech, and not just shoot from the hip and see where that takes them.
@@MaggaraMarine "This is true" *proceeds to cope hard and ramble about captain-obvious tier shit* Look, fren, it's okay to not have any imagination, but don't predispose your sad opinions with "This is true".
They are used a huge amount. I am in my fifties and when I was a little boy harpsichords were a historical curiosity barely played and rarely made. Now most early keyboard music is played on a harpsichord. If you live in Europe it's very easy to hear live harpsichord music and if you do, I urge you to seek out a historically informed performance. You won't regret it.
The harpsichord is a plucked keyboard instrument related to the harp and lute while the fortepiano, pianoforte, and modern piano derive from the clavichord a percussion keyboard instrument.
@@billmcmahon1420 In a harpsichord with two manuals, the bottom manual traditionally operates the darker back gate 8' choir and the top manual operates the brighter front gate 8' choir. This allows for the musician to alternate manuals for immediate dynamic contrast. Additionally, the bottom manual can have an additional 4' stop that employs a set strings tuned an octave higher for added weight and volume. In this fashion the lower manual is more powerful and the upper manual is used for softer passages. Finally, both manuals may be coupled together. When the top manual is physically shifted towards the backboard, the result is that the bottom manual will operate both manuals and their set stops simultaneously but the top manual will only operate itself. This allows for the greatest possible volume the instrument can produce - the 8' back gate, 4' choir, and the coupled 8' front gate of the top manual. wiki.youngcomposers.com/Harpsichord
@@TonyBittner-Collins amazing that they figured out how to build all of that on a harpsichord, but nobody ever thought to just make piano which sounds 100x better.

Yes, he does. At the same time, every competent guitar player can play without constantly looking at the fingerboard, and the guitar fingerboard isn't linear like the piano keys are.
So much of this reminds me of sitting with my kids watching the Baby Einstein tapes I bought in the early 2000's. They had a Baby Mozart tape that had this exact harpsichord music on a tape along with colorful things and early learning visuals. My kids always recognize Mozart from watching that tape a million times. A wonderful memory. Thank you!
There is a certain note that sounds much like my doorbell so every time it’s played I’m contemplating weather or not someone is knocking the front door or not
Oh, this is making sense.... I've never been the biggest fan of Mozart but this could explain why - an awful lot of these tunes sound much more at home on the harpsichord. One or two in there sounded like they were written much later, more piano dynamics. Love the outfit too!

I just loved your 'you'd better be listening' looks from the keyboard... quite admonishingly amusing. Loved the index finger for the next piece... new to me! very original. You are a real master on this instrument. (we might have had the real French title of the twinkle twinkle piece, but no matter.)
I enjoyed this video. It reminded me of one of my favorite keyboardists, Wanda Landowska, a lady who did much to revive the popularity of the harpsichord in the last century.
It's simply amazing you can replicate the period look of that era. Centuries ago . It's surreal to watch u play with such mastery👍🏻 Always a pleasure to listen to your performance.
"This was the sound that was heard at the time." A bit misleading. He also played and owned and composed for clavichord and fortepiano. Mozart lived through a very important phase of rapid keyboard development.
This repertoire sounds surprisingly good on harpsichord, with the exception of that bit from the middle movement of the Elvira Madigan concerto, which really needs piano and strings.
The piano was evolving through most of his life. So some of these songs were composed with instruments like this in mind while others were composed with a more mellow sound in mind.

@@mauriwayar the title of the video is 'how Mozart sounds on the harpsichord' not 'Mozart sounds good on the harpsichord' and can you give me an example of how a harpsichord should sound?
@@FadiKdy The instrument is out of tune and the dude is playing music that wasn't composed for harpsichord. As a result average viewers who know nothing about the baroque period or the harpsichord might walk away just thinking that it's a shitty instrument that sounds bad. Here's just one example of many on RUclips of a proper harpsichord player using an instrument that is in tune. ruclips.net/video/KQiBIb_klT8/видео.html
@@jakobmanieirikssonschimmel8988 I agree. Also, Mozart's time was not Baroque but Rococo or Classical period. Baroque is totally underrated and Mozart is overrated too, but what can you expect from mainstream?
As I recall the Harpsichord was a plucked instrument (the internal mechanism plucked a string when a key was pressed) so the notes faded away fairly quickly. When I was in high school in the early 70s the family of a classmate made Harpsichords to sell. I never got to hear one of theirs but he brought pictures of one being built start to finish and it looked beautiful.
The only way to hear music back in the day was to have someone physically in front of you playing it, and now we can pull this up on demand while sitting on the toilet. Remarkable how far we've come.
Glad to see you’re wearing the proper tone wig. The type of wig used has a lot to do with the tone of the harpsichord and a lot of people don’t understand the importance of wig material and country of manufacture when playing the harpsichord.
Well theoretically it is Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" not "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", even though both are indeed based same folk song.
In reality, it's not as simple. I would actually assume that the hardest pieces are the ones where you don't have to look. You see, when you have an easy piece, you don't learn it as long and hard, so your muscle memory isn't as good. And if it's something really hard, to the point that you had to practice day after day over and over - then you don't need to look anymore. Your body knows it and you can concentrate more on the feelings that you want to put into your performance. Obviously it's just generalizations, of course you have to look if your hands need to "jump" a lot. Sorry for the long message, just wanted to give you a perspective of a person who played piano for 10 years+
He played several of those looking at the camera when on piano. The issue here is definitely the key sizes of the harpsichord, not the complexity of the pieces.
Hearing this harpsichord gives me a new appreciation why composers from this era wrote so many notes: with no real sustain on the notes they had to keep the music moving somehow.
and plus the varied temperaments just overcomplicated that process
That is a great point. No sustain.
Great points.
As well, with the lack of dynamics the ornamentation was the only way to add interest.
The piano became a thing during Mozart’s time, but I do believe he did study Bach’s pieces which did employ similar techniques.
Plot twist: Vinheteiro is tired of staring in the camera that's why he asked Marie Antoinette to stare instead.
Oh my gosh

Sounds great. I love the sound of the harpsichord.
*being raised on classical music and opera such melodies bring me great joy*
I love how the harpsiocrd says the title of the song
What?
@@Lord_VinheteiroExcelente video!!
@@Lord_Vinheteiro he means how you wrote the name of the piece on the harpsiocrd
On a serious note: The joke was that there's always a name on the side of the piano, I think.
Like a high functioning player harpsichord
first only people who like good music know how to value it !! tremendous video greetings from norway
Thanks!
Congrats, lord Vinheteiro replied to your comment
@@Lord_Vinheteiro OMG lord vinheteiro replied your comment!!!! OMG i admire you lord!
@@Lord_Vinheteiro vc é um mestre no piano sr vinheteiro . todos da minha familia gostam de vc abraços (lucas)
👍👍👍
"This was the sound that was heard at the time." A bit misleading. He also played and owned and composed for clavichord and fortepiano. Mozart lived through a very important phase of rapid keyboard development.
I love the costume and his body language and engaging stare at the audience. Lovely warm colors.
So beautiful 😍 I wish I could play like that!!!! Thank you for bringing classical music to us your fans and followers. Thank you again
Even the painting of Marie Antoinette stares at us.
Yes but look at what she was looking at when she went
This repertoire sounds surprisingly good on harpsichord, with the exception of that bit from the middle movement of the Elvira Madigan concerto, which really needs piano and strings.
The piano was evolving through most of his life. So some of these songs were composed with instruments like this in mind while others were composed with a more mellow sound in mind.
@@tiryaclearsong421 I'm aware, thanks.
@@fiandrhi others might not, which I didn't.
Is it bad that I love this sound for his music more than any other version Ive heard?
Those tones are yes wonderfull.
Yes. You should be ashamed of enjoying music played on period instruments. You're a monster.
What a dumb question.
I’m glad this continued to change.
Es un crack de los teclados este cuate y oírlo en ese clavicordio transporta a aquellas épocas de genios musicales
So good that there’s no need for ending or nothing.

divertido como esse piano lembra trilhas sonoras de vídeo games clássicos.
You should try some "inappropriate" for harpsichord music, such as jazz, ragtime, or meme music just to see what is sounds like.
Thats just pure trash
@@varolussalsanclar1163 Jazz isn't trash
@@samdobie6748 it's the devil's music.
@@samsallon You're hilarious.
@@samdobie6748 yeah i guess its tolerable when youre in an elevator or a hotel lobby lol
Thank you
Great playing and now I know what a 18th century king felt like
Such a beautiful instrument
Eu fico vendo seus vídeos e cheguei a conclusão que talentos como você é que renovam e nossa fé na humanidade! Obrigado!
Verdade!
Renova a esperança nos brasileiros 😃
Magnífico cuadro de Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun… magnífica música e interpretación!!👏🏻👏🏻
Harpsichord is great for some of his early 60s to 70s pieces.
We also need piano - forte for his concertos
Excellent presentation! Thanks! I liked the pointing and the staring and the wig almost as much as the music.
So imagine ser capaz de escutar uma musica dessas na epoca...seria uma viagem no tempo incrivel. Lord cosplay de nobre frances do sec XVIII é o melhor.

eu não gostaria kk
The dislikes are from the people who liked the video so much that they flipped their phone to like it again
The harpsichord is terribly out of tune (this is not a piano) and not all of this music is suitable for this instrument 😟
@@mauriwayar the title of the video is 'how Mozart sounds on the harpsichord' not 'Mozart sounds good on the harpsichord' and can you give me an example of how a harpsichord should sound?
@@FadiKdy The instrument is out of tune and the dude is playing music that wasn't composed for harpsichord. As a result average viewers who know nothing about the baroque period or the harpsichord might walk away just thinking that it's a shitty instrument that sounds bad. Here's just one example of many on RUclips of a proper harpsichord player using an instrument that is in tune. ruclips.net/video/KQiBIb_klT8/видео.html
@@jakobmanieirikssonschimmel8988 I agree. Also, Mozart's time was not Baroque but Rococo or Classical period. Baroque is totally underrated and Mozart is overrated too, but what can you expect from mainstream?
Bravísimo Vinheteiro. Muy bien. Como siempre, felicitaciones. 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As I recall the Harpsichord was a plucked instrument (the internal mechanism plucked a string when a key was pressed) so the notes faded away fairly quickly.
When I was in high school in the early 70s the family of a classmate made Harpsichords to sell. I never got to hear one of theirs but he brought pictures of one being built start to finish and it looked beautiful.
The only way to hear music back in the day was to have someone physically in front of you playing it, and now we can pull this up on demand while sitting on the toilet. Remarkable how far we've come.
I know how to do Turkish March but he makes it look so easy

Wow
you are first comment
nevermind
Congratulations
Wow
Adoro o concerto no21, adoraria ver um vídeo seu tocando esta peça completa.

Glad to see you’re wearing the proper tone wig. The type of wig used has a lot to do with the tone of the harpsichord and a lot of people don’t understand the importance of wig material and country of manufacture when playing the harpsichord.
So Beautiful Sound Actually Classical Music
0:30 - cracking the cryptic
Well theoretically it is Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" not "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", even though both are indeed based same folk song.
More videos like this please!
Love your talent, staging and humor.
Music is our magic 🪄
More Cowbell! I got a fever and the only Rx is More Cowbell! HUGE RESPECT!
You know the piece is insanely hard when he doesn’t look into the camera...
Yes people tend to look at what they are doing
In reality, it's not as simple. I would actually assume that the hardest pieces are the ones where you don't have to look.
You see, when you have an easy piece, you don't learn it as long and hard, so your muscle memory isn't as good.
And if it's something really hard, to the point that you had to practice day after day over and over - then you don't need to look anymore. Your body knows it and you can concentrate more on the feelings that you want to put into your performance.
Obviously it's just generalizations, of course you have to look if your hands need to "jump" a lot.
Sorry for the long message, just wanted to give you a perspective of a person who played piano for 10 years+
@@mrbouncelol blind musicians enter the stage
It is not cause the piece, but the instrument. The keys are not the same size that the ones from the piano, so his fingers are not used to them.
He played several of those looking at the camera when on piano. The issue here is definitely the key sizes of the harpsichord, not the complexity of the pieces.
