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.
