Programme Note
Howard Shelley introduces, then plays, a Mozart Piano Concerto in our popular lunchtime series in Knightsbridge.
In the mid-1780s, Mozart’s Piano Concertos were the talk of the town. For two glorious years, concerts advertising his brand-new piano works would sell out, with the great and good of Vienna flocking to the doors. But by the third year, audience numbers dwindled as popular opinion hesitated over Mozart’s ever more daring works. Our 2024 series covers Mozart’s final five Piano Concertos, composed during the increasingly tumultuous period of his life. Many of these works are now regarded as his greatest masterpieces.
