Mozart W.A. - Piano Concerto 9 In Eb Kv 271
$38.50
- Description
Written in January 1777 shortly after Mozart had turned twenty-one, the Piano Concerto in E-flat major K. 271 forms a culmination in his oeuvre to that point. In many respects it is a superlative work, one that broke through to a personal style of piano concerto with repercussions for Mozart’s instrumental music as a whole. Its formal layout is no less unusual than the extreme demands it places on the pianist: neither before nor later did Mozart present the soloist so boldly at the opening of a concerto as here.
The work’s dedicatee, Mlle Jeunehomme, was a French piano virtuoso much celebrated in her day. Not surprisingly, Mozart used his compositional prowess to the utmost in order to meet her high musical standards, to attract her attention to his music, or perhaps to challenge her abilities. Jeunehomme visited Salzburg while on tour in late 1776 and early 1777; Mozart’s relations with her remain as obscure as are the other details of her life. Nevertheless, the dedication of this concerto may very well have been directly related to his impending journey to Paris.
- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition
- Full score & parts (BA4790), two-piano reduction (BA4790-90) & study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP242) available for sale
