Mozart's piano concertos stand alongside his operas and symphonies
as his most frequently performed and best loved music. They have
attracted the attention of generations of musicologists who have
explored their manifold meanings from a variety of viewpoints. In
this study, John Irving brings together the various strands of
scholarship surrounding Mozart's concertos including analytical
approaches, aspects of performance practice and issues of
compositional genesis based on investigation of manuscript and
early printed editions. Treating the concertos collectively as a
repertoire, rather than as individual works, the first section of
the book tackles broad thematic issues such as the role of the
piano concerto in Mozart's quasi-freelance life in late
eighteenth-century Vienna, the origin of his concertos in earlier
traditions of concerto writing; eighteenth-century theoretical
frameworks for the understanding of movement forms, subsequent
historical shifts in the perception of the concerto's form,
listening strategies and performance practices. This is followed by
a 'documentary register' which proceeds through all 23 original
works, drawing together information on the source materials.
Accounts of the concertos' compositional genesis, early performance
history and reception are also included here, drawing extensively
on the Mozart family correspondence and other contemporary reports.
Drawing together and synthesizing this wealth of material, Irving
provides an invaluable reference source for those already familiar
with this repertoire.
