[BoliverAllmon]

which is your fav? I have been listening to them alot lately. I really dig No. 4

[Teddybear]

No. 23. I've played it and enjoyed it very much.

It may be heresy to say so, but I don't really care for either K.466 or K.488 (AKA Nos.20 and 23), which seem to be the usual suspects in surveys like this.  I'd have to say one of K.271 (the 'Jeunehomme'), K.365 (for two pianos, if it qualifies), K.482, or K.491 (AKA Nos.9, 10, 22, and 24).  Also high on the list would be K.413, K.453, and K.459 (AKA Nos.11, 17, and 19).  If really pressed, I suppose I'd name the 'Jeunehomme' out of all of those, but it's an ever changing preference.

9, 20 or 25

I love the two piano one also.

[Bouter Boogie]

Nr. 17 and nr. 21  Especially the 2nd movement of nr. 21, it's beautiful 

[happyface94]

Number 20. It's to bad of all the concertos he composed, only 2 are minor.

I much prefer the two minor-key concerti (20 and 24); but I am very fond of all of Mozart's concerti, including 17, 21, 23, 25, and 27.

I don't much like 26 (Coronation), however.

[Waldszenen]

Nos 7, 17, 19, 20, 21, 26


I haven't heard all of them yet

[Bouter Boogie]

Nos 7, 17, 19, 20, 21, 26


I haven't heard all of them yet

Me neither.. I like nr. 20 in d-minor too, though! 

[BoliverAllmon]

Nos 7, 17, 19, 20, 21, 26


I haven't heard all of them yet

then start listening.

[Waldszenen]

Definitely will soon


I'm planning to buy the cycles by Perahia, Brendel and Kempff - which should I get first?

[Bouter Boogie]

then start listening.

Yeah, we will  So how many piano concertos of Mozart are there anyway? I’m not sure 

[Bouter Boogie]

Number 20. It's to bad of all the concertos he composed, only 2 are minor.

Nr. 20 is in minor, which is the other one?

[Skeptopotamus]

20 is my favorite cause it's the only one i can play XD

[Waldszenen]

Yeah, we will  So how many piano concertos of Mozart are there anyway? I’m not sure :$

27

[Bouter Boogie]

27

  

More than 20 to go then 

[BoliverAllmon]

Good luck and happy listening.

[pianonut]

the last one seems to represent mozart at his finest.  not trying to impress an audience with virtuosity, but just enjoying himself.  this final statement is much like beethoven's ninth (written when completely deaf) because despite all the troubles mozart was having, he creates something really beautiful.

[mlsmithz]

Nr. 20 is in minor, which is the other one?

No.24, K.491, is in C minor (assuming by No.20 you mean K.466 - see the "first four Mozart concerti" thread for the two numbering systems).  I read that Beethoven was influenced by it when he wrote his own C minor concerto, Op.36.

I admit I haven't heard all of them, but I've heard more than half of them - specifically, Nos.7-12 and 17-27.  They're performing No.14 where I live next year, so that will be another one I can add to the list.

[BoliverAllmon]

I heard his 9th performed last year. That was my first live mozart PC to hear. The lady sucked. She would "sing" along way out of tune. When she did this, she would look at the audience and groan. terrible experience.

That's great!  I played no 14 (K449) this past year with my local chamber group, and I loved it.  Very different.  My fav is no 17 (K453), but I also adore 21-27 and 9.  (I've done 13, 17, 19, and 23.  May do 9 if the chamber group can manage to stay in biz.
