Anyone who spends time with the second movements of the last 10 piano concertos is going to reach a higher state of consciousness for sure. I always see them as glimpses into Mozart's soul, and by extension the soul of humanity in its most advanced state.
The first time I heard this played was at the Grahamstown Festival (South Africa) in the early 1980s. Afterwards I approached the soloist and told him that if I could die listening to his rendition of this magnificent piece, I would die happy. It is transcendent in its beauty and my soul soars whenever I have the privilege of listening to it.
Really well versed, but what about all of our now-abilities to have heard this in life, w/the impact this brings. Imagine traveling in time to hear this first played by Wolfy.. wow
If one examines this as the end (albeit short) of his life and musical career, it is a junction in which he has begun and continued to explore different avenues in music. Ave Verum Corpus, Adagio and Fugue etc. one can imagine he wrote this to truly be his final piano concerto...And being the true champion of the genre, it only seems fitting that the second movement borders on the divine and a bridge built with his own hands to the Romantic Era's expressiveness.
Absolutely beautiful, written at the end of his life- so close to death, is that the reason why the music is filled with resignation that is almost like joy? 'I had never listened to it without thinking of of children playing in the dusk, calling out in far piping voices while the shadows of nightfall swooped down across some green and tranquil lawn.'- Sophie from 'Sophie's Choice' Just finished the book and decided to end the phenomenal journey with this piece of musical wonder.
For me perhaps the finest piece of music written and played. . I would give anything to have heard it performed that last year or to have heard him/ Mozart play it/ remains a deep wish of mine/
The date that Mozart wrote this has not been authoritatively verified but it was dated January 5, 1791 and may have been first performed at a concert on March 4, 1791. Mozart died on December 5, 1791. He was only 35 years old. Part of this movement's poignancy comes from knowing this was his last Piano Concerto.

Some people say one can find similarities among pieces from the same author. As I was listening this, I noticed an air to Mozart´s Clarinet Concerto (Adagio) 2nd movement. That shows once again the richness of a composer´s melodies which might be derived from the same intention but creating a whole different spectrum of colors using different cadenzas and instruments interaction. Would be Mozart´s music that predictable? I don´t think so. But only the one who spends hours listening a unique author becomes aware of that.
Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu was a little influenced by this. I can tell. listen to the slow passages on that piece. It sounds the like the main theme on this one.
It is Amadeus: Jesus going to the road of torture, waiting for the Crucifixion by the Romans, Mozart knew that His Mission in this life is to be like Jesus in the realm of Music, to be loved by God, and despised in general by the crowd, they at best are mind-willing but actually has weak flesh, no courage to go with Him on the road of spiritual revolution, so this movement is Mercy- Sigh- Courage flow of Geist.
The problem with incidental music used for films is that it has to correspond to the action on screen and cannot be seen as classical music in the sense that a composer can fully develop a piece; if the hero is suddenly chased by the bad guy, the composer has to respond with something appropriate, something matching the film director's/editor's choice of mood/action, and not neccesarily anything to do with musical choice. Having said that, some main themes are still very enjoyable.
burtingtune that’s what film is: picture and sound. Take a look at Baby Driver (2017). The action onscreen is synchronized/ built around the music. A fresh twist to film form if you ask me.
I hope this piece won't never be included in the bso of any videogame or movie. The comments will be full of assholes writing "like who came because of the videogame... /the movie..."
The main melody of this particular movement is beautiful but the actual harmonic binding is banal sounding..arrrgghh!! Maybe it's just that I come from a post-romantic world, I don't know. It's hard to stay with it
For me, this is the most beautiful music ever created by Mozart.
Poetic, minimalist, and full of light.
A moment in heaven.
The 2nd movement of Mozart's 27th is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
Anyone who spends time with the second movements of the last 10 piano concertos is going to reach a higher state of consciousness for sure. I always see them as glimpses into Mozart's soul, and by extension the soul of humanity in its most advanced state.

Remember the first time I heard this...I was stunned....still gives me goosebumps......
How Mozart did to create music so simple but so beautiful???? I love.

Whoever you are...I applaud your appreciation of this piece and your analysis of Mozart's latter works. Very insightful, I must say.
What a lovely piece... great for after a hard day work...

And this is why god gave us ears.
Why don't I have four ears to listen to this?
And this is why reason,science and rationality freed us all from superstition and gods and demons.
And this is why God gave us tears as well.

thank you for posting...
It makes me sink in zen meditation.

Me to...How can anyone dislike this:if he deosn t like classical music,why did he come here,and if he likes,he is missing something.
To die while listening to Mozart is my ultimate wish.

I love this version. I bought the CD set on Amazon for peanuts after hearing this (on Naxos)

Nope, not speed up (just checked it). Don't know why it sounded a little quick.
Nice but sounds a little speed up from the original?
