Here’s a little Mozart. When I was in Class Piano learning scales, our teacher, Mrs. Dees, sat down at the piano and said, “This is one of the reasons we learn scales and played the first few measures of the Sonata in C Major. So, here it is transcribed for guitar. Mozart loved him some scales.
Here it is on the instrument it was composed for.
Thank you, Denny! Claudia loves her some scales too. The guitarist is very, very good. The pianist is much, much too fast. Here it is, played by Claudio Arrau (my favorite) who lets you enjoy the charming clarity of Mozart. Now I’ll try to see if I can still do the Sonata which I learned at 12, and taught to the few students who loved playing scales.

Don’t want to hog the space. but here it is again played by Daniel Barenboim (another great one) where you can see his hands, not just hear him. It’s simply perfect: speed, position, interpretation.

Thanks Claudia. I changed the piano version to the one you sent me. It does sound better at that speed.
