Mozart: the Late Piano Concertos

Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21

Season 1, Episode 21 • Music

Type: Classical Concert
Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Location: The Siemens‑Villa, Berlin
Conductor: Daniel Barenboim
Orchestra: The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Year: 1986

Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467 is adored because it’s one of those works where everything feels effortless. The first movement sparkles with energy but never feels showy and the piano and orchestra converse like witty equals. The gorgeous slow movement, Andante, gained huge popularity after being used in the 1967 film "Elvira Madigan", hence it's called the “Elvira Madigan Concerto.” The third movement bursts with cheerfulness, sending audiences away on an emotional high.
