@MozartK365 Probably Mozart wrote it during a boring day just as many others, and he probably was thinking about the mount of money he would have received from romantic and sentimental people like you!
in my opinion the overall concerto is like a hurricane travelling through the sea, in this 2nd movement we are at the center of the hurricane (where the weather is calm), and at the end of the third movement the hurricane abruptly vanished, leaving nothing but destruction...
Not sure any period performance would be truly complete without Mozart's bass boosting piano add-on. Mozart's fortepiano not only had knee operated "pedals" but also a pedal operated bass piano similar to an organ for extra low bass.
I can imagine music in my head like he probably did, difference is nowadays we have computers and electronics to aid us getting it down on paper rather than pen and ink
Very lyric. After writing the wind serenades K388 etc., Mozart really got a grasp for the wind instruments, and one can hear it in the instrumentation of this movement.
I don't really understand what you're saying. Mozart was probably the greatest natural talent music has ever seen. His music would just pop into his head fully formed. Really there was nothing for him to grasp.
What I wanted to say is that Mozart experimented with the sound of the wind instruments in these serenades, K375, 388 etc. . After these works, one can see that he uses the wind instruments differently. Compare for example wind instruments in K201 and in the second movement of this piano concerto. Or compare the earlier piano concertos. There is an increase of musical autonomy in the wind instruments which they didn´t have before.
Here I have a different opinion. Mozart certainly was extremely fast in having new inventions of musical themes, and Mozart´s style makes it easy to put them together coherently. However, I still think there was a "processing time", hours and hours of playing a piece again and again and putting it together, which is hardly recognized.
Mozart seems to have brought with him any number of what he considered to be musical or worthwhile musical concepts, etc, from even an earliest age up through to his latest works. One could therefore say he spent thirty-plus years working on Die Zauberflöte.---- Maybe searching for any fixed method of operation is in itself pointless. He probably did all sorts of different things, and maybe let go a piece of music paper into the fireplace now and then.
As well, i suspect anyway, there were many a moment when basically he did just dictate music directly as he visualized it, as rapidly as he could move his pen. He often just thought in music; his ear was uncannily sensitive; he practically started learning to write score before he learned how to write German.
In those days, if one wanted to hear music, one experienced it right then, live-- no electicity. I think Mozart acheived a direct line of communication between what went on in his head and what the bulk of humans around him experienced at his hand.
Danke, habe Link gesetzt

this sounds so nocturnal, beautiful, charming, I think I can imagine Mozart writing the score at night, when the others had slept...

@MozartK365 Please ignore giopaga's ignorant comment - that person doesn't understand great music.

is it just me? or that piano is not completely in tune with the orchestra... this is a great piece and interpretation but that bothers me a little...
some strings on the piano, especially the lower notes, are apparently flat by that a little annoying bit...

The reason I´m saying this is because I compose like Mozart aswell. You can take a look at my
"Piano sonata a la Mozart" or also the 2nd piano sonata, both uploaded here at Youtube.
