- The Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785. The first performance took place at the Mehlgrube Casino in Vienna on February 11, 1785, with the composer as the soloist. A few days after the first performance, the composer's father, Leopold, visiting in Vienna, wrote to his daughter Nannerl about her brother's recent success: "[I heard] an excellent new piano concerto by Wolfgang, on which the copyist was still at work when we got there, and your brother didn't even have time to play through the rondo because he had to oversee the copying operation." It is written in the key of D minor. Other works by the composer in that key include the Fantasia K. 397 for piano, Requiem, a Kyrie, and parts of the dark opera Don Giovanni. It is the first of two concertos written in a minor key (No. 24 being the other).
The young Ludwig van Beethoven admired this concerto and kept it in his repertoire. Famed conductor Daniel Barenboim contends that this concerto was Joseph Stalin's favorite piece of music. Cadenzas for this popular concerto written by famous composers include Beethoven (WoO 58), Johannes Brahms (WoO 16), Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Feruccio Busoni and Clara Schumann. The concerto is scored for solo piano, flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. As is typical with concertos, it is in three movements:
1. Allegro
2. Romanze
3. Allegro assai
The first movement starts off the concerto in the dark tonic key of D minor with the strings restlessly but quietly building up to a full forte. The theme is quickly taken up by the piano soloist and developed throughout the long movement. A slightly brighter mood exists in the second theme, but it never becomes jubilant. The timpani further heightens the tension in the coda before the cadenza. The movement ends on a quiet note. The 'Romanze' second movement is a five-part rondo (ABACA) with a coda that begins brightly with a strong B-flat major melody. The second episode (part C) is galloping section in the relative minor key of G minor which greatly contrasts the peaceful mood of the rest of the movement. The final movement, a rondo, begins with the solo piano rippling upward in the home key before the full orchestra replies with a furious section. (This piano "rippling" is known as the Mannheim Rocket and is a string of eighth notes (d-f-a-d-f) followed by a quarter note (a). A second melody is touched upon by the piano where the mood is still dark but strangely restless. A contrasting cheerful melody in F major ushers in not soon after, introduced by the orchestra before the solo piano rounds off the lively theme. A series of sharp piano chords snaps the bright melody and then begin passages in D minor on solo piano again, taken up by full orchestra. Several modulations of the second theme (in A minor and G minor) follow. Thereafter follows the same format as above, with a momentary pause for introducing the customary cadenza. After the cadenza, the mood clears considerably and the bright happy melody is taken up this time by the winds. The solo piano repeats the theme before a full orchestral passage develops the passage and thereby rounding up the concerto with a jubilant D major finish.

Mozart's trills at 5:00 and 10:10 are literally the best part of the song for me. Simply amazing with the oboes in the background getting progressively louder and then bang!
I agree except its not a song:/
Didn't even notice this version was in D-sharp minor until I checked it against an online tuner. I think it sounds really nice in this key!
The pianist who played this version is Alfred Brendel if anyone wanted to know :)
Wow. He did a superb job. I like this version very much
It's also his own cadenzas.
Thanks 👍
Beautiful. I cannot seem to find anything more enjoyable than listening to classical music.
And just to say, it's not for "old people", like I hear some say. I am under 15. :)
Me 2
38. I don't consider myself old. My cousins and I always loved classical music. They had piano lessons for decades. My mom didn't have money so I didn't get that luxury but I did get to mess around on an out of tune piano that she had growing up. So I taught myself some. Lol. Only by ear and very little because we didn't have internet when I was playing to just go look up and learn everything if we had the dedication. Lol. Or RUclips to show you step by step. We had to play by ear and figure it out. Being a kid now with all this tech at my fingertips and time on my hands and endless amounts of energy. I could only imagine.
Well ye aint bloody under 15 anymore ey
Agree. Im 29 and loved it my whole life. I’m especially fond of Mozart
Well now you're under 25.
13:30 ... I pity people who have not yet discovered the boundless wonder contained in classical music. These sounds release emotions that I have yet to discover through any other genre.
Agreed. Beautiful spot you picked. I listened to that part again with you in mind.
i LOVE Mozart's darker pieces such as this one. jaw dropping
Thank you for sharing this, it really is a wonderful recording of one of my favourite mozart piano compositions played by a amazing virtuoso pianist.
At the introductory concerts of his piano concertos, he played the piano himself. So he was a genius in more ways than one! Of course he had lots of time to write all 41, considering that he wrote Piano Concerto #1 when he was 7. Of course, the fact that his dad, Leopold, was a musician (violin) helped.
Oh, thank you Am4d3usM0z4rt for the amazing upload! So thrilling! :)
I agree.
Classical music was written during a glorious period in history when art was thought to be a means of uplifting the spirit and bringing the soul closer to God. All forms of classical art, including music, focused on the patron rather than the artist. As a result, we, the fortunate beneficiaries of the experience of classical art and music, do find our spirits lifted and our souls edified.
Oh please. Whatever
@@stevewallschlaeger1379 What on earth?
I wonder what it would be like to think like Mozart for a day, and just make up beautiful music. Like just putting the word music in the same sentence as Mozart gives the word a special quality, entirely different and blissful in contrast to the word's use to describe the music of today.
I think that Mozart joked us at the ending. That's very exciting!
Er....no. I understand what you mean... But no, not some kind of joke.
@rtkoempyre So that RUclips won't take them down. (copyrights)
If you really want to, download the video as MP3 form or convert it into MP3 with VLC media player, then, download Audacity, install it, open the file with it, select all by "Ctrl + A", then click on "Effect" -> "Change Pitch" -> under "percent change", type "-3" (without quotes), then export it as a normal WMA file, then it will be exactly what you want!
I mastered this while a music education major at university of Wyoming in 2000. the pianist who is playing this concerto is playing with my similar interpretation of the first movement
Mozart did compose some darker works. his darkest, in my opinion, was don Giovanni el commendador at the end
. Mozart had some reasons for feeling dark times. as a child he suffered from rheumatic fever. it left him with a rheumatic heart condition. the physicians, of his day, treated it with one of the worst ways. they applied leeches and bled him. this with the impurities in the claret wine, he enjoyed caused his renal failure, and death at age 35.
also, his father disapproved of his son's wife and lifestyle, and disowned him. his fortune, if there was one, went to Mozart's sister. you can only imagine the head trip such a thing would happen to a man of his day. just think of all the more beautiful music he could've composed had he lived to old age.
Mozart composed all his music, in his head before putting it down on paper. Beethoven had a more difficult time composing. the places he lived in had his working out of his compositions on the walls.
You got a lot of those myths straight from the movie Amadeus. You should really know what you are talking about before you start spreading bullshit rumors. Mozart did not compose all the music in his head before putting it on paper. That is a myth started by the movie Amadeus. And when making a claim you should cite your source. I understand though that you can not do that because you just pulled those facts out of your ass and have no source.
TheFatbip you do not know what you are talking about. you do not know me, or my musical heritage. I own Amadeus, and have seem it several times. there is nowhere in that movie that mentions rheumatic fever , or its leaving him with a rheumatic heart condition. all that is said in that over embellished drek was that he was a sickly child. I have no malice towards Mozart. in fact I began piano lessons at 4 years old. from the time I was 9 years old, I began to take my practicing seriously. by the time I was 12 I was practicing 4-5 hours. I studied with ms. gizi szanto, at the detroit institute of music when I was in high school. I was the major piano accompanist of our school choir. I was given the most challenging works to practice and accompany. I also did a solo performance. when I went out to take my bow, I was given a standing ovation. after the concert, I went down to the floor to meet my mother. a young priest came up to me, took my hands, Kissed them, and told me," linda, if you never do another thing, never cease to play the piano. you will bring happiness to many people I was a piano performance major at Oakland university, in Rochester hills, mi. now, at 61, I specialize in playing the major works of Bach and Mozart. the only thing I had coming out of my ass was 147 pounds, and I am still losing weight. next time you want to write vulgarities at someone, you'd better get to know them, first. here are the facts.
my mother was from bohemia district of the what is now the Czech rebublic. she was an operetta singer, and pianist of the popular works of her day. my babicka {grandmother}, was an opera singer. her father played six instruments with the czech symphony orchestra. his first cousin was the famous Czech composer, Antonin Dvorakova. in Czech society, when you spoke a to someone you were casual with, you use their familiar name. anton dvorak. but I can never stress this enoughthe public should only refer to him as dr. Antonin dvorakova.dvorak. that was a heck of a musical heritage to live up to. in college, and from then on I practiced 6-8 hours every day, and did so for many year.
in middle school I went to boarding school, that was run by the Dominican nuns. every Saturday night the girls went to the other side of campus to watch movies. in the three years I was there, I never went to any of the movies. when they went, I spent my time in the practice rooms working. while the kids were in study hall, I was in a practice room in that part of the building, practicing on a Steinway baby grand piano. my piano teacher there told me, " linda, you don't need school. you are going to be a concert pianist. she meant that as a compliment, i'm sure, although it was a bad thing to say to any student between 12-15 years old when our life values are formed.
I am fully confident that the likes of you will think I "blew that out of my ass ", too. and I COULDN'T CARE LESS!.
linda silverstein by the way, I got that out of an old book from the 1940's, entitled history of the lives of the composers. I only have one hand to type with. I slip and fall at home has left me with a damaged right shoulder. I will go for physical therapy.
my late husband surprised me the year we were married. he told me to pick any piano and play it. this was second nature for me, as I was the piano demonstrator at the wurlitzer store in my town. he then asked me if I liked the piano. "yes. it has a good touch." then he asked me " are you sure you like this piano? I said, yes." he stunned me when said, "it's yours. he wrote a check for the full price there. my husband told the salesman that ". he left for heaven in 2011. our lives are so short. we will be back in each others arms when I go to meet him.
linda silverstein also, two years after Mozart died, his wife, constanza, met a count or duke, and fell in love. this count was very interested in Mozart's music. together with constanza, they catalogued Mozart's works. we were lucky this happened. bach's music fell to the wayside, throughout the years. it was felix mendelsshon who brought his music to the public, again. I specialize in the works of bach and Mozart.
fatbip, why don't you tell us what Mozart died from, at 35 years old? I got those facts from an old book I found in a library about the history of the lives of the composers. now, keep your vulgarities to yourself.
linda silverstein tl;dr
thank you so much for the web site
more people should listen Mozart's music
it is not only genius music, is beautiful
Marriner/ The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields/ piano: Alfred Brendel.
With Shazam app!
Best recording!
Divin și magnific ...!
Piano: Alfred Brendel
Conductor: Sir Neville Marriner
Orchestra: Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Composer: W.A. Mozart, cadenzas: Alfred Brendel
DIVINE MUSIC ! I like it !
This recording is featured in Mozart 225 edition and it states clearly that Brendel (who's the performer) wrote the cadenzas.
I love the second movement in the contrasting middle section, it's always so beautiful, even a half step higher!
13:20
22:26
This is the only one of Mozart's two minor key piano concertos to end in major.
Seriously, the third movement of this piano concerto ends in D Major. Mozart's number 24 does not end in major.
You are so right!
Many thanks for the notes and links. I believe this is Alfred Brendel based on the cadenzas.
Uma triste beleza, evito de escuta-lo quando estou deprimido, no entanto guarde-o na memória com carinho.
I am not a musician so this question may offend some experts!
What was the instrument that Mozart used for composing his piano music? Was it a harpsichord or a fortepiano? I don't think the current piano was around in his time but either of the others was.
Thanks.
+Janak Varma This was piece was written for a fortepiano, harpsichord was more baroque era pieces :)
Awesomeness!
Mozart was a genius
22:26 Rondo
Thanks for the upload. I know you mention that you're unfamiliar with the performers; place and date of the recordings, but could you direct me as to where you got this version from? I'd like a copy as well.
Just download this video.
The video uploader has posted a link to their source for the music you are hearing, in the video description; you will see it at the bottom of the description, if you check.
In my humble opinion, I am pretty sure this recording is Sir Neville Marriner directing the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields with pianist Alfred Brendel. I have listened to this recording a thousand times. You can find it in a box set called "Complete Mozart Edition" - the one by PHILIPS! They are available on iTunes. Type in "Complete Mozart Edition - Piano Concertos" and make sure you see the "PHILIPS" logo on the album cover before you consider buying!

I am also a fan of Alfred Brendel (esp. his Beethoven). Anyway, this really seems to be his playing. I checked for the PHILIPS box set "Mozart Piano Concertos: Complete Mozart Edition" and listened some sample audio, I think you are right.
thank you for posting this beauty!
did you ever try to put them a semitone lower instead ?
they will became more relaxing : have a nice day.
They can't copyright Mozart--his work is in the public domain. What they can copyright is the recording, and that is what they usually do.
mettre une photo de piano-forte alors que au son on entend du piano, ca fait un peu de la publicité mensongère
13:20 romanze
sounds a half tone higher!
yuta1010blog it is. For some copyright reasons
Who is author of Cadenza in the first movement?
I think that this was Beethoven's cadenza.
No-no! It is not Beethoven! I am know His Cadenza.
It is also not Brahms, not Hummel and not Busoni.
Why is this in Eb/D# minor?
Copyright I think
M O Z A R T I S S I M O !
whose is the cadenza?
All the videos you upload are a semitone higher. Why?
I think it's copyright.
Whose Cadenza?
+Franz Xaver Might be Alfred Brendel's own cadenza.
L'interruzione della musica di Mozart con la pubblicità equivale ad una bestemmia !!!
13:20 Romance
13:20
How the hell could anyone copyright Mozart? More accurately, how the hell could anyone live with themselves knowing that they've copyrighted Mozart?
One more thing to add to the extensive list of irrationalities perpetrated by society upon the pretense of preserving individual economic freedoms.

Yes, I could. Considering I wasn't pompous or self-absorbed at all in the comment, I guess I could be significantly more-so.
HAHAHAHA da tranzpozed verzion, hilariouzly alzo da bezt evah!
yeah...i prefer the d minor sound version
His videos are always one half pitch higher. It's just because of copyright.
Philips, Mozart Edition
I knew this was out of tune
