I. INTRODUCTION

I went to a concert held at Carnegie Hall in New York, New York, on Sunday, February 14, 2016. The concert was performed by The Cleveland Orchestra. It was an all-Mozart program conducted by Mitsuko Uchida. The concert performed 3 pieces of Mozart’s work: Piano Concerto No. 17, Symphony No. 34 and Piano Concerto No. 25. I chose to focus on the last piece played in the concert Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K. 503.

II. BACKGROUND OF COMPOSITION The work is a concerto completed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on December 4, 1786, and it is the last of the twelve great piano concertos written in Vienna between 1784 and 1786. The concerto is one of Mozart's longest with a duration of about 33 minutes. It has the following three movements: Allegro maestoso, Andante in F major and Allegretto.

The Piano Concerto No.25 concerto has long been neglected in favor of Mozart's more "brilliant" concertos, such as Piano Concerto K. 467. Though Mozart performed it on several occasions, it was not performed again in Vienna until after his death, and it only gained acceptance in the standard repertoire in the later part of the twentieth century.[1] Mozart's pupil, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, valued it, as can be seen in the influence it had on Hummel's own Piano Concerto in C, Op. 36.[2]

III. FORM AND GENRE
