Rosemary Broadbent
Mozart’s piano concertos span his life, from childhood experiments before he was ten to his final year, 1791. Although the form and the instrument were new, the concertos have been claimed as his most characteristic creation and an example of perfect balance which no other composer has achieved since.
Parts One and Two will examine these claims by a detailed look at selected concertos, illuminated by Mozart’s entertaining and forthright letters.
Parts Three and Four will investigate how Beethoven re-examined the form from first principles and created a challenging and dangerous legacy for future composers.
