Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the Piano Concerto in G major (after J.C. Bach, Op. 5/3), K. 107/2 in 1771. The piece was premiered in Salzburg, Austria, with Mozart himself as the soloist. The concerto consists of three movements: 1. Allegro 2. Andante 3. Rondeau: Allegretto The first movement, Allegro, begins with a lively and cheerful theme played by the orchestra. The solo piano then enters with a virtuosic cadenza, showcasing the technical abilities of the performer. The movement features a dialogue between the piano and orchestra, with the piano often taking on a more improvisatory role. The second movement, Andante, is a beautiful and lyrical piece. The piano plays a simple and elegant melody, accompanied by the strings. The movement is characterized by its delicate and expressive phrasing, with the piano and orchestra trading off the melody. The final movement, Rondeau: Allegretto, is a lively and playful piece. The piano and orchestra engage in a call-and-response style, with the piano introducing a theme and the orchestra responding with a variation. The movement features a number of virtuosic passages for the piano, including a cadenza towards the end. Overall, the Piano Concerto in G major (after J.C. Bach, Op. 5/3), K. 107/2 is a charming and delightful piece. It showcases Mozart's skill as a composer and pianist, and is a testament to his ability to blend different musical styles and influences.
