During the period that Mozart composed his 19th piano concerto, he was the most admired pianist in Vienna. In fact, the year the work premiered, 1784, Mozart was so much in demand that during that concert season, he wrote six piano concertos, including the 19th.
That level of composition output is a testament not just to Mozart’s genius, but also the efforts he undertook to stay in the public consciousness.
And what a lovely work it is. Just listen to Helene Grimaud as she performs this for your enjoyment.
