Mozart 21st concerto for piano and orchestra in C major

[mussorgsky]

My dream is to play with an orchestra. Do you think Mozart's 21st concerto is good for a start?

That does rather depend on what solo works you have so far mastered.

Many start off with Haydn, but there are many easy but effective concerti that could be considered.

I think it depends on what you like and think you can handle at this point. Back in the early 1950s, my teacher had me start with the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1 (C major) as the first piano concerto to learn. Mainly, I think, because it is frequently played with a chamber ensemble instead of a full orchestra. (I learned it, but never played with an orchestra -- only with another piano student playing the orchestra reduction part.)
