If the form of the piano concerto is present throughout the whole of Mozart’s creative process – from the simple childhood adaptations of Johann Christian Bach’s sonatas to the final austerity of the 27th concerto of 1791 – it is striking, as Jean-Victor Hocquart notices, that Mozart almost never composed piano concertos during the periods in which he composed operas. It is as if the piano concerto and the opera were in reality, each in their own way, « responding to one and the same fundamental requirement: the theatrical requirement » . With, of course, for the concerto, the particularity of the double role of the piano: « as a character, it takes part in the action, as a dramatist, it rules over it » . The original and carefully balanced programme proposed here allows us to follow, in this particular genre, the piano concerto, the first stages of Mozart’s progressive and fruitful emancipation from the canons of Viennese ‘divertissement’ towards his conquest of a more personal language.
