Concerto for Piano No.25 in C major (KV 503) (Piano Reduction)

Mozart Concerto for Piano No.25 in C major (KV 503) (Piano Reduction)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.25 in C major K.503 was composed for a cycle of four academy concerts that Mozart organised in the casino in Vienna during Advent of 1786.  Although deeply engaged with the pressing work on “Le Nozze di Figaro”, Mozart only composed the concerto shortly before its premiere.

This piano reduction complements the full score of this concerto already published in 1987 as part of the “New Mozart Edition”.  It is still available alongside the corresponding performance material (BA04742).  The meticulously prepared and well-manageable orchestral reduction by Martin Schelhaas is new.

The piano reduction includes a separate piano solo part, which also contains cues for the orchestral entries: This allows the ensemble to be conducted from the piano or to improvise over the bass part in tutti passages.  As no cadenza by Mozart has survived for this concerto, an additional booklet offers cadenzas by August Eberhard Müller, Philipp Karl Hoffmann, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Carl Reinecke, Ferruccio Busoni, Hermann Beck and Paul Badura-Skoda.
