Guildhall Chamber Orchestra
Roberto González-Monjas - Director

This is one of the great series of piano concertos that Mozart composed for himself to play at his subscription concerts in Vienna between 1784 and 1786. He wrote it within a dew weeks of its predecessor, the dramatic D minor, K466, entering it into his catalogue of his own works on 9 March 1785; presumably it was the 'new, just finished' concerto announced for his concert at the Imperial Theatre the following day. The orchestra is a large one for the time, with trumpets and timpani added in the outer movements to flute, oboes, bassoons, horns and strings. As usual in these Viennese concertos, the woodwind instruments make an important contribution as carriers of the melodic line, frequently in chamber-music-like dialogue with the soloist.
