Thank you Mozart...

Mozart was an excellent musical multi-tasker. Example: Mozart was a skilled billiards player. On one occassion, while playing a billiard game with friends, he was, simultaneously, writing down a score he planned for a later performance...also, at the same time, working out the parts for an entirely different composition in his head. A contemporary said of Mozart, "A genius like Mozart comes along once in a century," I disagree. A genius like Mozart comes along once. It was Mozart.

we don't know exactly how Mozart wrote this, but, like other great pianists of his day, he was an exceptionally talented improviser, he took a trip to Prussia and improvised about 6-7 variations on Duport's minuet and later added 2 more variations when he wrote them down. They often had improv. matches and Mozart's skills rivalled those of Clementi.

Contrary to the popular myth, Mozart made corrections in his music (ie. String Quartets Nos.15-20) although he could work out his ideas efficiently

[MrUptownman2000]

Dreamingly: No, Mozart rarely wrote the cadenzas in advance. The orchestra played what he wrote but when it came time for his solos, he usually improvised them. I think he must have written some of them down later for we have some of his cadenzas. Years later other virtuoso pianists wrote their own cadenzas, too!

[dreaminglucidly139]

What do you mean by improvisation? Surely he sat down and wrote this note by note so I'd like to know where is the improvisation? Did he come up with an entire impromptu improvisation and then go back and write the whole thing out? I would really appreciate a response as I've never received a classical music education.

One of the most amazing movements of all his Piano Concertos. Simple theme then amazing improvisation in his writing.
