Piano Concerto No. 10 (Mozart)
- Piano Concerto No. 10 (Mozart)
The Concerto No. 10 in E-flat major for Two Pianos, K. 365, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in 1779. Mozart wrote it to play with his sister Maria Anna (“Nannerl”). He was 23 years old and on the verge of leaving Salzburg for Vienna.
The concerto is scored for the two pianos together with two oboes, two bassoons; two horns; timpani; and strings. The piece is in three movements:
# Allegro
# Andante
# Rondo: Allegro
The concerto departs from the usual solo piano concerto with the dialogue between the two pianos as they exchange musical ideas. Mozart divides up the more striking passages quite evenly between the two pianos. Also, the orchestra is rather more quiet than in Mozart's other piano concertos, leaving much of the music to the soloists.
The first movement is lyrical and "wonderfully spacious, as if Mozart is thoroughly enjoying himself and letting his ideas flow freely," as Ledbetter has noted. [http://www.laco.org/performances/3/?program=1] The middle movement is slow and refined; the orchestra stays in the background behind the pair of playful pianists. The finale is a rondo filled with rhythmic drive and, after passages of lyrical grace, there is an exuberant return to the main rondo theme.
