Konzert in Es KV 449: Score and critical report (in German) in the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe; Piano Concerto No. 14, K. 449: Scores at the International Music Score Library Project; Performance of Piano Concerto No. 14 by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in MP3 format
Köchel attempted to arrange the works in chronological order, but many compositions written before 1784 could only be estimated, although Leopold Mozart had compiled a partial list of his son's earlier works; Mozart's catalogue of his own compositions (begun in February 1784 with K. 449) allows relatively precise dating of many of his later works.
Maria Anna Barbara or Babette Ployer (2 September 1765 – before April 1811) was an Austrian piano and composition pupil of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for whom he wrote two piano concertos in 1784, No. 14 KV. 449 and No. 17, KV. 453, which were both premiered at her residence by her in 1784.
In only four other piano concerti by Mozart are the slow movement in a minor key (K. 271, K. 456, K. 482, and K. 488). This concerto also opens in triple meter, an unusual feature of Mozart's 27 piano concertos; only K. 41, K. 413 , K. 491 , and K. 449 open in triple meter.
Written for his pupil Barbara Ployer to play, K. 449 is the first instrumental work by Mozart that shows the strong influence of his operatic writing. The next, No. 15 (K. 450) , shows a reversion to an earlier, galant style .
The time signatures of the concerto are slightly unusual: Mozart wrote only three other keyboard concertos with first movements in 3 4 (No. 4, K. 41, No. 14, K. 449 and No. 24, K. 491). In the first movement, Mozart definitively modulates to the dominant, C major, when he introduces the second subject in the prelude before returning to F major ...
But knowing of William's performances of such smale scale concertos as the Mozart K 449 with as few as five strings in the accompanying orchestra, I was inspired to write him a contemporary piece which similarly lives in the space between chamber music and bravura-filled spectacle. The first performance (given at the 1997 Spitalfields Festival ...
The Piano Concerto No. 19 in F major, K. 459 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written at the end of 1784: Mozart's own catalogue of works records that it was completed on 11 December (works surrounding it in the Köchel catalogue are K. 458, the "Hunt" quartet and K. 464, the fifth of the Haydn set). It is part of a series of concertos composed ...
