Mozart: Concertos K242, K365, K466

Mozart: Concertos K242, K365, K466 / András Schiff, Daniel Barenboim, Sir Georg Solti / Decca Audio CD 1990 Stereo / 430 232-2 UPC 028943023221 /// In 1776, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed three piano concertos, one of which was the Concerto for three pianos and orchestra in F major, No. 7, K. 242. He originally finished it in February 1776 for three pianos; however, when he eventually recomposed it for himself and another pianist in 1780 in Salzburg, he rearranged it for two pianos, and that is how the piece is often performed today. The concerto is often nicknamed "Lodron" because it was commissioned by Countess Antonia Lodron to be played with her two daughters Aloysia and Giuseppa. The third piano part, intended for the younger daughter, is more moderate in its technical demands. It is not known when Mozart completed his Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E-flat major, K. 365/316a, but research by Alan Tyson shows that cadenzas for the first and third movements are written in his and his father's handwriting on a type of paper used between August 1775 and January 1777. However, most sources, including Alan Tyson's book Mozart: Studies of the Autograph Scores or more recently Lindeman's The Concerto: A Research and Information Guide (2006) indicate that it was composed in 1779. It is presumed that Mozart wrote it to play with his sister Maria Anna ("Nannerl"). Years later he performed it in a private concert with pupil Josepha Barbara Auernhammer. The Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785. The first performance took place at the Mehlgrube Casino in Vienna on 11 February 1785, with the composer as the soloist. /// Label: Decca – 430 232-2 Format: CD Country: Europe Released: 1990 Genre: Classical Style: Classical /// Tracklist: Concerto For 2 Pianos In E Flat Major, K.365 1 Allegro 9:46 2 Andante 7:07 3 Rondeaux: Allegro 6:37 Concerto For 3 Pianos In F Major, K.242 4 Allegro 8:14 5 Adagio 7:55 6 Rondeau: Tempo Di Menuetto 5:42 Concerto For Piano In D Minor, K.466 7 Allegro 14:49 8 Romance 9:35 9 Rondo: Allegro Assai 8:00 Composed By – Mozart Edited By [Tape Editor] – Ian Watson (3) Engineer – Stan Goodall Liner Notes – Eric Wen Orchestra – English Chamber Orchestra Photography By [Cover Photo] – Clive Barda Piano – András Schiff (tracks: 1 to 6), Daniel Barenboim (tracks: 1 to 6) Piano, Directed By [Directed From The Keyboard By] – Sir Georg Solti Producer – Michael Haas (3)
