Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto in E flat major K. 482: Piano: Study

Composed at the end of 1785 Mozart s Piano Concerto in E-flat major forms a group of three with the two famous concerti in A major K. 488 and in C minor K. 491 which he completed in March of the following year. What they all have in common is Mozart s inclusion of Clarinets in the Orchestra for the first time. In this he succeeded to particularly impressive effect with the lyrical passages in the slow sections of the E-flat-major concerto which was well received by the audience at the first performance. Indeed his father Leopold reports in a letter that Mozart had to repeat the Andante immediately. G.Henle Publishers is issuing this concerto undeservedly overshadowed by its famous siblings in a handy study edition in full score; a Piano reduction is in preparation.
