Mozart's Piano Concerto in G was composed in Vienna in 1784 and the autograph is dedicated to Senora Barbara Player, a pianist whose name would now be otherwise forgotten. She was an accomplished artist, daughter of a business man in Vienna, and Mozart speaks of her in one of his letters of that year to his father. The concerto is one of three of which Mozart himself was unable to select his own favourite. He spoke of all three as ' concertos that make one perspire.' and he was keen to learn which of them would best please his father and his sister.
