Long considered to be one of Mozart's greatest works, Arthur Hutchings has described it to be the most "concerted" of all the concertos (i. Arthur James Bramwell Hutchings (1906-1989 was professor of music at the University of Durham, England. e. the most integrated). Girdlestone has also effectively claimed it as the greatest. Cuthbert Morton Girdlestone (born Bovey Tracey, Devon, 17 September 1895; died December 1975 was a British musicologist and literary Ludwig van Beethoven took particular inspiration for his own music from this concerto. Ludwig van Beethoven ( English ˈlʊdvɪg væn ˈbeɪtoʊvən, 16 December 1770 &ndash 26 March 1827 was a German Composer and Pianist. [2]

The work has obvious musical antecedents in Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 78, also in C minor and from which the Concerto's opening statement is drawn. The Symphony No 78 in C minor (Hoboken 1/78 is a Symphony by Joseph Haydn. Jonathan Stock has analysed in detail Mozart's use of woodwind timbre in the instrumentation of the concerto's slow movement. [3] Chris Goertzen has mapped the structure of the slow movement. [4]

The concerto was first published in parts in 1800. The manuscript of the concerto resided in the 1960's at the Royal College of Music. The Royal College of Music is a well known conservatoire located in the South Kensington district of London, England, and one [5]
