Yet despite widespread recognition of their importance, they still present many interpretive problems. In 1989, the Michigan MozartFest brought expert performers, instrument makers, critics, music theorists, and musicologists together for the first symposium devoted exclusively to Mozart's piano concertos. The twenty-one essays in \u003ci\u003eMozart's Piano Concertos, \u003c\/i\u003eculled from that event, richly broaden our understanding of this corpus. \u003cbr\u003eThe volume's first section consists of commentaries on the texts of the concertos, including thoughts on creating a critical edition. In subsequent sections, contributors analyze the structure of the pieces and the circumstances in which they were first composed and performed. How do these works compare with other concertos of the period? Where were Mozart's contributions truly original, where conventional? What musical references did he expect his listeners to catch? \u003cbr\u003eGenerously illustrated with facsimiles, tables, and more than one-hundred musical examples, \u003ci\u003eMozart's Piano Concertos\u003c\/i\u003e substantially advances our understanding of these wonderful works. Its exceptional scope--addressing everything from textual problems (what notes should be played?) to performance practice (how can we make the music sound more nearly as Mozart heard it?)--will make it invaluable to anyone who loves his piano concertos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eV.
