Concerto for Piano no 26 in D major, K 537 "Coronation" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

H.C. Robbins Landon writes:

K.537 did not achieve the success he had hoped. K.537 is in many ways a parallel to the 'popular' Haydn symphonies of the late 1770s and early 1780s: neither Haydn nor Mozart is at his best when trying to be deliberately successful. The superficialities of K.537 did much to convince the nineteenth century of Mozart's supposed shallowness, his courtly 'lackey' style, just as the enormously popular Haydn Symphonies [53,63, 76-81 and cello concerto] established the romantic conception of Haydn as a playful old fool.

In K.537 everything glitters, everything shines; the heartbreaking realization that his public did not understand and appreciate the concertos of 1782-6 seem t have induced Mozart to purge the new work of any restless, disturbing elements. The slow movement begins with all the innocent beauty of those in K.466 and 491: but, unlike the earlier slow movements, there is not real contast, and the middle section is too close to the spirit of the first.

Homero Francesch has been teaching at Zurich's Conservatory (ZhdK) for 30years so far. He's still teaching.

homero francesch is Belding in saved by the bell

[andymccoy10]

He has one of the most economical techniques I have seen. His playing with so much finger strength gives him a really nice clear articulation that is great for this music.

H.C. Robbins Landon, may have written the above statement, but I tend to disagree, The song is still a very Mozart piece, (I'm not sure where I'm going with this). In my opinion there is no way to suggest how someone actually felt about a piece. It sounds like he enjoyed writing it.

[mtierra]

There's a lot of scales and passages in this piece and it's easy to make it sound like a technical exercise -- there's full intention and consciousness behind every note. The orchestra is extraordinary making a wonderful interplay. Nothing sounds rushed just their in full beauty of sound. -- What a touch!!
