Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21 in C, K. 467 [complete]

The Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467, was completed on March 9, 1785 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, four weeks after the completion of the previous D minor concerto, K. 466. There are three movements.
1. Allegro maestoso; in common time. The tempo marking is in Mozart's catalog of his own works, but not in the autograph manuscript.
2. Andante in F major. In both the autograph score and in his personal catalog, Mozart notated the meter as Alla breve.
3. Allegro vivace assai.
The opening movement begins quietly with a march figure, but quickly moves to a more lyrical melody interspersed with a fanfare in the winds. The music grows abruptly in volume, with the violins taking up the principal melody over the march theme, which is now played by the brass. This uplifting theme transitions to a brief, quieter interlude distinguished by a sighing motif in the brass. The march returns, eventually transitioning to the entrance of the soloist. The soloist plays a brief Eingang (a type of abbreviated Cadenza) before resolving to a trill on the dominant G while the strings play the march in C major. The piano then introduces new material in C major and begins transitioning to the dominant key of G major. Immediately after an orchestral cadence finally announces the arrival of the dominant, the music abruptly shifts to G minor in a passage that is reminiscent of the main theme of the Symphony No. 40 in that key. A series of rising and falling chromatic scales then transition the music to the true second theme of the piece, an ebullient G major theme which Mozart had previously used in his Third Horn Concerto. The usual development and recapitulation follow. There is a cadenza at the end of the movement, although Mozart's original has been lost.
The famous Andante is in three parts. The opening section is for orchestra only and features muted strings. The first violins play with a dreamlike melody over an accompaniment consisting of second violins and violas playing repeated-note triplets and the cellos and bass playing pizzicato arpeggios. All of the major melodic material of the movement is contained in this orchestral introduction, in either F major or F minor. The second section introduces the solo piano and starts off in F major. It is not a literal repeat, though, as after the first few phrases, new material is interjected which ventures off into different keys. When familiar material returns, the music is now in the dominant keys of C minor and C major. More new material in distant keys is added, which transitions to the third section of the movement. The third section begins with the dreamlike melody again, but this time in A-flat major. Over the course of this final section, the music makes it way back to the tonic keys of F minor and then F major and a short coda concludes the movement.
The final rondo movement begins with the full orchestra espousing a joyous "jumping" theme. After a short cadenza, the piano joins in and further elaborates. A "call and response" style is apparent, with the piano and ensemble exchanging parts fluidly. The soloist gets scale and arpeggio figurations that enhance the themes, as well as a short cadenza that leads right back to the main theme. The main theme appears one final time, leading to an upward rush of scales that ends on a triumphant note. The second movement was featured in the 1967 Swedish film Elvira Madigan. The imagery used in the movie was of a lazy boat ride on a placid lake, and the limpid sound of this movement likely motivated its choice here. This has led to an anachronistic nickname of Elvira Madigan for the concerto.

The most beautiful music in the world

Gracias😁

[@francescdalmausalgas3638]

This music is pure heavenly beauty! Miraculous! God created Mozart's musical genius once for all mankind as long as we all live in this present system of things. I think God speaks to humans through Mozart's music. There's never been another composer like Mozart. I COMPLETELY AGREE, OR BETTER ACCORDING TO 1,000,000 X 100. Mozart was the GENIO of all geniuses, (I say this with deep RESPECT for all of them), but, we must admit publicly and aloud, there has been NO COMPOSITOR LIKE HIM, NO, NOR WILL IT BE, THERE IS NO TIME, I HOPE TO OPEN IT WITH HONEY PERSONALLY. In the very near future now. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart, Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart

[@francescdalmausalgas3638]

When I hear the music of W.A. Mozart and I think I'm in Paradise; Then when I open my eyes I realize that happiness has lasted little.... Very little. ( @ Andante in F major, An extraordinary melody, sentimental, full of love and peace; For me it will be impossible to forget and will always be in my heart. THANK YOU MOZART forever.

[@gerardbegni2806]

This concerto is a miracle after the very dark and dramatic K 466. It is a rebirth. Who can know what crisis appeared and was solved in Mozart's mind?

[@stevewallschlaeger1379]

I would guess that Koeschel knows since he's the one responsible to catalogue all of Chrysostomus Theophilus Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music. A catalogue is not necessarily a timeline of when Mozart wrote it

[@XoravaX]

@@stevewallschlaeger1379 Köchel attempted to list Mozart's works in chronological order, so the numbering should reflect that. And none of the newer iterations of the Köchel catalogue have changed the order, 466 and 467 have stayed the same, so I suppose there's enough consensus that the first publication dates as listed by Köchel (10 February 1785 for K 466 and 9 March 1785 for K 467) are correct. Of course, the K 467 might have been in the works for longer time than K 466, but who knows.

[@LaRoque17]

Everyone knows & praises the Andante in this concerto but personally I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more perfect single movement then his Allegro maestoso in this concerto. It is pure pefection & makes the adante the powerful peice that it is & indeed the concerto in it's entirety. Sheer brilliance. To think that it is 227 year old. Mind boggling.

[@earlyspring3177]

He wrote sonatas, quartets and symphonies and some would hold them all perfect but can we really doubt, the concertos were really in his wheel house. Just works and works and works. He also wrote those opera things but that is another story. Play on Wolfie.

[@ognjenstanic3100]

Mozart was one of the few men for whom you can say with total confidence: genius!

[@TheFatbip]

One of the few? There were many people throughout history who could easily have been considered geniuses.

[@johnyringo6890]

+TheFatbip No. Wrong. What don't you get? This is not about 'considered genius', this is about without a shadow of a doubt genius, it all its glory, purest & next to perfect form. And the next best thing to Mozart is God.

[@googoogaga4263]

I agree with Ognjen and Johnny

[@assafbarbash572]

I prefer Bach and Beethoven

[@josesaldivar655]

Maye bigger than Genious, He is The Musical Son of God !

[@geckosnhamster]

3:43 Mozarts most beatiful melody ever!

[@francescdalmausalgas3638]

En música clásica han existido, que yo sepa, una docena de grandes, majestuosos e inspirados compositores y hoy podemos disfrutar de sus extraordinarias obras maestraS, PERO NO HA EXISTIDO NI EXISTIRÁ UN SER HUMANO CAPAZ DE COMPONER COMO W.A.MOZART, maestría, profundidad, inspiración, dominio, originalidad, EL ÚNICO QUE LO TIENE... TODO. ÉL ES para mí, EL GENIO DE TODOS LOS GENIOS. Ademas de tenerlo todo...lo tiene en abundancia. El único que ha conseguido que nunca me canse de escuchar sus melodías. !!! VIVA MOZART, PARA SIEMPRE ¡¡¡

[@jesusmanriquezsantana1590]

Sin duda Mozart es el mayor genio de la Música que haya existido en toda las historia 🤩

[@DavidS_Tan]

This is one of the best versions out there

[@bongebob1]

also probably one of the best recordings of this concerto imo :D

[@jamesdelaplante7757]

Yes! Allegro Maestoso is pure brilliance! Even Leopold probably muttered something like "Da. It'll do!"

[@marekjozwiak5390]

Deuxième partie - Andante - touche vraiment au cœur. Czesc druga - Andante - naprawde chwyta za serce. C'est tout. To wszystko.

[@70girardje]

beautiful concerto.

[@mariavelazquezdeangulo1640]

Great Concert !!!! Thank you .

[@gtaylor0]

Agreed! Far too much attention paid to the second movement. Second is brilliant but the confidence and power of the first is astonishing and just vastly under rated. I like this performance -- so many just aren't aggressive enough IMO.

[@5viviana3]

Uno de los mas preciosos conciertos para piano de Mozart.

[@ruarcs3]

Best? Who can decide, depend on your mood! Godtoched for sure

[@francescdalmausalgas3638]

Who decides? Mozart always decides because Mozart has an angelic MUSIC for all the moods of anyone. For this reason He is the Genius of all geniuses in the wonderful composition of classical music. I, personally during the last 25 years, have found myself in a bad mood for different reasons, (due to illness, death, accidents, family problems, with children, with the wife, with grandparents, with my brothers, at work, playing sports, with a neighbor, etc. etc.), and without looking specifically for it, I have discovered how some of Mozart's heavenly melodies, they have helped me a lot at that particular time. Try it, because Mozart also has wonderful music even if you're in a very good mood. Mozart Is From Another World.

Yessss ;)

[@kentogo9747]

Cool ! I love this performance ! The sound source is so clear.

I first heard this longer version in SciencephileTheAI's videos. Part at 19:00 is my favorite.

[@vanjastanishic3426]

Excellent performance!

[@helioenriquesuarezgodoy2899]

Genio indiscutible........!!!!!!

[@bongebob1]

i think this recording is by Alfred Brendel and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (with Neville Marriner), but transposed up into D major. The cadenza is by Radu Lupu i think.

[@stevewallschlaeger1379]

Alfred Brendel am Klavier. Sie Neville Martinet at the podium.

[@bongebob1]

Yeah you're completely right - i meant to write Db instead of D but couldnt edit the post :(

[@amnonnoy7345]

MOZART BRAVO !

[@josesaldivar655]

Took me back to my first term in CalDavis, where I listened the full concert for first time, and became a fan of "Mozart Master Pieces collection " by Deutsche Gramophon, which was celebrating a huge anniversary and put up Mozart best for 7 bucks each CD, with complete works. Of course I knew the 21 Adagio, famous because "Elena's Theme".

[@josesaldivar655]

Andante I meant, not adagio.

The first movement is the best in my humble opinion

[@violettavalery857]

Amadeus grazie per il video e per gli interrogativi interpretativi che ci propone. Personalmente mi ricorda - per la sua concisione - Brendel/Marriner/Academy of St.Martin in the Fields. Gradirei una Sua risposta ma La pregherei di adeguarla alla mia incompetenza. Grazie.

[@IvanGreindl]

As you wrote "Any suggestions are welcome", why don't you mention the performers' names?? They all deserve to be known.

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

Ivan Greindl Is that a joke?

[@IvanGreindl]

Niels Liljedahl Christensen Sorry, didn't see your indication...

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

How is the uploader supposed to mention the performers' names when he/she doesn't know who they are?

[@Hansenet]

Ivan Greindl It is very likely that this performer is Alfred Brendel, and the CD is part of a record of the complete mozart edition. I have all 27 piano concertos, where this record is from and also an image of the CD Cover. See here: www.allmusic.com/album/mozart-piano-concertos-mw0001818870

[@totophi]

Hansenet Can you please confirm the same cadenzas between these two recordings? It would be very useful (and definitive) to know...

[@panoptiv]

This music sounds like it was sped up to sound like it was transposed. I believe this was Alfred Brendel where cadenza was by Lupu.

[@SinhNguyen-ry9zt]

Do you think that Mozart's music is more complicated and beautiful than Beethoven's music?

[@jesusmanriquezsantana1590]

Some works of Mozart are very difficult, but I think that in general those of Beethoven are a little more complicated, but by far the most beautiful and perfect music is that of Mozart.

[@XoravaX]

Mozart's music follows the rules of the Classical period, so technically it would have been (sometimes much) more difficult to compose so that it'd be attention-catching and interesting to listen to, as the rules are more restrictive than those in the Romantic period, eg. regarding dissonance, which is rarely used in Classical period. Even though Beethoven's compositions start from the late Classical period, he is mainly a Romantic period composer, so his music generally doesn't follow the rules of the Classical period anywhere as closely as Mozart's do. So, I think Mozart did compose more "intelligent" music than Beethoven, as adhering to the Classical period rules made composing music that catches people's attention much more difficult, yet Mozart managed to compose unrivalled masterpieces. Generic Classical period music is quite bland compared to generic Romantic period music, yet Mozart's is not.

[@FelipeMirafuentespianista]

is it in C# or in C? Did you move the pitch?

[@googoogaga4263]

He pitches it for the authorized rights. (I think I misspelled it)
