Your favourite Mozart piano Concerto

[Richard Tarleton]

K 271 - always .

I love Brendel's version with added vocals, from his farewell concert....

A question for the wise owls on the board: it just struck me what that enigmatic slow movement of k.482 reminded me of: Beethoven's 'Marcia Funebre' from the Eroica symphony. I'm talking about the opening leading up to the intro of the piano.

I'm not claiming to be one of those wise owls you were hoping to lure out of the thicket, but I took your bait nonetheless and have just played that movement. I wouldn't have got Eroica unless you had pointed it out but I think I can see what you mean. The first two notes gave me the Andante from the Brahms Sextet op 18 and then I was getting "Oh thou that tellest" from Messiah.

I hope it's a fine concert RT - and I hope that you can report on it for us please

Will do - the weather's a bit iffy but we'll set off along the M4 regardless

See "What was your last concert" for review.
