About


Mozart's Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 9, dates back to 1777, when Mozart was only 21. But it is certainly not because of Mozart's young age that the concerto inherited the nickname of 'Jeunehomme'. In fact, Jeunehomme was the surname of a young French pianist who visited Salzburg and for whom Mozart wrote his score.

The pianists competing at the XV International Tchaikovsky Competition must perform, during the second round of the Competition, one of the seven piano concerti written by Mozart and selected by the Competition.

Movements:

  • Allegro
  • Andantino
  • Rondo (Presto)
