| Abstract | Mozart wrote his first concerto at the age of ten and completed his last a few weeks before his death. In the intervening twenty-five years he composed over fifty concertos for various instruments. The most numerous are, of course, those for the piano, which are the subject of a separate BBC Music Guide by Philip Radcliffe. This volume is dedicated to Mozart's other concertos--those for wind and stringed instruments--masterpieces such as the powerful Sinfonia Concertante in E flat and the lyrical Clarinet Concerto, or the Flute Concerto in G and the last two Horn Concertos, all perfect of their kind. |
