Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467
Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467, composed in 1785, is one of his most beloved concertos, renowned for its lyrical beauty and elegant structure. The concerto is in three movements: Allegro maestoso, Andante, and Allegro vivace assai.
The first movement is characterized by its majestic and exuberant themes, while the second movement, Andante, is particularly famous for its serene and lyrical melody, often referred to as the "Elvira Madigan" theme after its use in the 1967 film of the same name. The final movement is a lively and spirited Rondo, bringing the concerto to a joyful conclusion.
Mozart’s masterful interplay between the solo piano and the orchestra, combined with his gift for memorable melodies, makes this concerto a standout in the piano repertoire.Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467

"Number 21 in C major (K467), with its intensely lyrical and much-loved slow movement, moves from cheekiness to anguish to catharsis with a whole lot more along the way."
