Leopold Koželuch, alternatively also Leopold Koželuh, (26 June 1747 - 7 May 1818), was a Czech composer and teacher of classical music. He was born in the town of Velvary, in Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic). He was an esteemed contemporary of Mozart, and in many circles considered the finer composer and an early champion of the fortepiano.
“Vienna, 1785: Haydn and Mozart are at the height of their creativity, the young Beethoven will soon appear on the scene as well. Many other extraordinary musicians also contribute to shaping that unique epoch in music history we call the “Viennese Classic”. String quartets, symphonies, piano concertos and sonatas are composed in dizzying succession and at the highest level. The steadily growing audiences in a thriving city hold only the newest in esteem. This is the era in which Leopold Koželuch also lives and composes in Vienna. Born in Bohemia and educated in Prague, he moved to Vienna in 1778. In 1792, he became Mozart’s successor as chamber composer to the Emperor.
He writes primarily for the “fortepiano”, otherwise known as the hammerklavier. His output: 23 piano concertos, 55 piano sonatas and 65 piano trios.
The entire Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major retains a dignified, noble character corresponding to traditional notions concerning this key. In the first movement, the piano is primarily heard together with horns and oboes, anticipating the “Chasse” music of the Finale." (note by Tomas Dratva)
¡ Muchas gracias !
Thanks for listening!
I can't think that anyone who enjoys Mozart's music could take any exception to Kozeluch. Whilst he was a contemporary of Mozart, he carried the legend on brilliantly, as this work demonstrates.
Thank you, David!
@@sibarit101 agree too on David's good catch and thanks for your great choice of the day.
I must say that this specific concerto is as good as Mozart's mature piano concertos. Obviously there's a half dozen Mozart piano concertos that are absolute masterpieces that not even Beethoven could match (my bucket list k271, 466, 467, 488 491, 595).
Koželuch piano sonatas and concertos are on average absolutely worth to be permanently included in the most prestigious pianists' repertoire
@@pietrolandri6081 Absolutely! Could be taken for Mozart easily but has his own signature... I am surprised!

Great concerto! Leopold Kozeluch should be played far more often in the concert halls. Thanks a lot for uploading.

Beautiful work. Reminds me of Mozart but the composer has his own voice. Lovely performance too.
Thank you!

this is one of the best cadences I've ever heard, it's not like those going up and down the scale, it's really composed by the pianist
Thank you!
How is it I have never heard of this composer before now? I love this piece!
Koželuch is a lesser known composer, although he was very talented and highly appreciated in his time. I'm glad that you listened to his music now and that you liked it!
👌
Was gab es einmal für in herrliches Musikschaffen - wohin ist es entschwunden, wird es einmal wiederkommen ?
It's great that we can still listen to these musical creations and never get bored.
Thank you! Do you have more Baptist Cramer works?
Why you ask me about Cramer at a Kozeluch' piano concerto?
