Easiest Mozart concerto

Plz help!

probably those concerto he wrote when he was a teenager....
Piano Concerto no. 1 should be the easiest Mozart Piano Concerto~

Early works don't necessarily mean they are easier... remember that when Mozart was 5 he wrote something for clavichord/harpsichord that his father told him was unplayable.

I started with K. 414 in A major. It is one of the easier concertos and is also a wonderful piece of music. The slow movement is quite beautiful and its second subect is actually the main subject of the first movement slightly altered. There is quite a bit of Mozart's signature humor throughout.

I agree about k414. It's on the easier side of difficult. And so beautiful! the development section in the first mvt....

Perhaps worth knowing is that concertos nr 1-6 is not original compositions, it's arrangements he did to study concerto-composition. (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Nr 9 is considered his first "great" one.

Nr 11-13 (K413-416) are with wind instrument 'ad-lib', i.e he composed them so that you can perform them with strings (string quartet for ex.) only.

nr 14-27, immortal miracles!:-)

I would say either all of them or none of them...but I'd probably get spanked by most of the members.

I'd say, technically, 21
but musically, you have to actually have your mother die first.

15 & 24 are the hardest

More to the point: Nr. 8 is relatively easy and imo more interesting than the first 4, which are also on the easier side. And yes, nr 12 is full of charm and not hard, but a bit harder than 8.
