Does anyone else like Mozart's A Maj. Piano Concerto, K. 488 as much as I do?

NO!!! I like it more than you so HA HA!!!   ;D

I think it is a fantastic piece, but I believe that his 20th Piano Concerto in d minor was his best.

LOVE it!!!  :-*

I had the good luck to play K488 with chamber orchestra about 5 years ago.  The second movement is one of the most beautiful and tragic pieces Mozart wrote--a wonderful foil for the outer movements.  The finale is Mozart unbuttoned, great fun!  (Although the Alberti bass in the LH can get hairy in places.)
