Programme devised and introduced by A. Hyatt King
The piano writing in the slow movements of Mozart's concertos is often a mere outline of what he himself played. In 1802 Philipp Hoffmann published elaborated versions of the piano parts of six slow movements based on his memories of Mozart's style of performance. Those for the concertos in C (K.467), in A (K.488), and in C minor (K.491) are to be played in this programme. Listeners will find the scores useful.
