Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Editor: Ernst Herttrich Fingering: András Schiff Cadenzas: András Schiff Instrumentation (this edition): Piano, Piano Reduction Originally for: Piano, Orchestra Work: Piano Concerto No. 24 in C Minor, K. 491 Binding: Paperback ISMN: 9790201807874 Size: 9.3 x 12.2 inches Pages: 61 Urtext / Critical Edition Description According to Mozart's own catalogue, K. 491 was completed on 24 March 1786 - it was Mozart's only piano concerto aside from K. 466 that was in a Minor key. It was probably first performed two weeks later as part of an "academy" at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Mozart was extremely pressed for time while composing this work, a fact that is shown both by the cursory way in which the autograph was written and by the repeated corrections. This edition contains the solo part and orchestral reduction on one system; two copies are needed for performance.
