Overview

Outstanding for their variety and degree of innovation, Mozart's piano concertos reflect his genius as a composer. He wrote the first of these precocious works in 1767, when he was only 11 years old. Piano concertos continued to be a lifelong preoccupation for the composer, and these formative pieces foreshadow the even greater works to come. All possess his characteristic keyboard mastery, experimentation with texture, and a natural sensitivity to form and balance. This edition completes Dover's five-volume series of all 27 of Mozart's concertos. Reproduced complete and unabridged from the authoritative Breitkpf & Hartel Complete Works edition, it offers a revealing look at the development of a budding master.
