Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Andante Concerto No. 21 K467

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been carefully edited, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, to guarantee musicians the conditions essential to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in traditional book form (paper sheets), and also available by download.



Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major (K. 467) was composed in 1785, shortly after the Piano Concerto in D minor (K. 466).
While the previous concerto in D minor was lively and passionate, this one in C major contrasts in its calm and majesty.
Like all concertos in classical form, the Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major is composed of three movements: Allegro, Andante, Allegro vivace assai (lively -lent - lively).
The andante, with its angelic colors, hides an anguish behind the twenty or so modulations that follow one another one by one over a hundred bars.
Olivier Messiaen once called this Andante "one of Mozart's most beautiful melodies, and perhaps one of the most beautiful in all music.
