Piano Concerto No. 7 (Mozart) 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 concerto is scored for 2 oboes, 2 horns, 3 solo pianos and strings. It has 3 movements: Allegro Adagio Rondo: Tempo di minuetto
Thank you for that. I love stories of who he wrote for and how arrangements came to be organised. I like to wonder what he might write for today's artists and for the modern instruments that, we're told, sound better, and are supposedly easier to play.
Sto riascoltando il concerto dopo quasi due anni e l'emozione che provo è inalterata, anzi noto l'assoluta perfezione e la difficoltà nell'esecuzione. Certo, io sono solo un'amante della musica E mi interessano soprattutto le emozioni 🥰💕🌈🎸
According to Google's description, this was performed by Yehudi and Hephzibah Menuhin..... So much for Google's automated software! How many other videos have totally incorrect information added to them? That said, this performance was something special, and until seeing this, I didn't know that Georg Solti, Daniel Barenboim and András Schiff had ever performed together. Thank-you for educating me! This performance was with the English Chamber Orchestra in the Royal Albert Hall on 18th June 1989.
It can be quite stressfull to be a page turner. As such both reading skills, knowledge of the music and concentration is very important. I have had the privilege of being a page turner at both piano, organ and chamber recitals as well as having a page turner while playing.
Concerto bellissimo e che piacere sentire tre grandi interpreti insieme.! Io sono una estimatrice di Sir George Solti di cui tanti anni fa, ho seguito un programma in TV sul funzionamento dell orchestra e dei vari strumenti. Grazie per aver condiviso questa bella registrazione. Un abbraccio a tutti gli amanti della musica 💕🌏🎶
Buongiorno. Ho seguito anch io , anni fa, il.programma su Solti. Oltre che grande musicista un uomo fascinoso.. le peripezie avute in gioventù, fame inclusa, non hanno intaccato il suo carattere alquanto pare.. chissa' perché la sua antipatia,ricambiata , per Muti..
Quadruplice bravura: sir Georg Solti fa due parti!!! Naturalmente tutti bravissimi, non c'è neanche bisogno di sottolinearlo. Adesso comincia il 2 movimento che come sempre è il più emozionante: buon ascolto 😍🙏💕
I never hoped to see Solti on the piano. Thanks for sharing this. Not too sure how DB was reacting here. He didn't look very happy. I have heard this for 2 pianos before. Cathy
What was Mozart's age when he composed this #7? Are there written records or reviews of the original performances with Mozart at the keyboard? Who else did he perform with for the original performance?
ERIC & CINDY Crowder It was performed for the first time by Mozart himself, his sister Nannerl and a Wolferl's pupil. It was however commissioned by Countess Antonia Lodron to be played with her two daughters Aloysia and Giuseppa
