Mozart is stupid.

Now that I've got your attention...

I was watching an interview the other day and this guy was like, 'yeah man, there's this Mozart piano concerto where there's this extra LONG intro with the orchestra but no piano, then all of the sudden the piano comes in BLAZING through like it's nobody's business!  It's soo good!  It's Mozart concerto number {^^>]^>*%**%>[]}[%^[%*'

Me:  ...  What the heck is it?!

I think is one of the later ones in the 20s but I could be wrong.  If you don't find this concerto for me by the end of the week, I will start doing heroin.

Is that the upmarket french version of heroin?

Edit: Try No 27, KV 595

20, 23 and 24 fit that description too, did he mention how many bars exactly? that would help to filter the results, also the tonality.

I'd be a little worried if he was talking about his blond heroine...

[lelle]

Well doing his heroine would at least be better for HIM than doing heroin, knowamsayin'?

Both can make him end up in jail I'm afraid...

Well, back to the title.  Despite the popularity of the movie Amadeus and the apparent requirement that classical radio stations play 15 Mozart pieces a day, I find 90% of Mozart pieces are Muzak.  That is, music played for people to not listen to while they played whist. Or rode 17th century elevators.   He is a greatest hits kind of composer, to me. About ten greatest hits, and a whole lot of filler.  He wrote a good symphony or two at the end; pity he couldn't find the kind of gig that would get him off the road, out of touch with the denizens of inns,  and eating nutritious food.
Case in point- last night 4/2/13 WUOL-FM ran a concert from Carnegie Hall of piano quartets, repeatedly advertised as a Schumann concert. They started off with Mozart's second piano quartet.  The first 16 bars of this includes a number of Eb scales. I suppose the creativity involves not having exactly eight or fifteen notes each time?  PDQ Bach covered this material to nauseum fifty years earlier    I shut the radio off and practiced Scott Joplin, then watched a sitcom rerun I was too busy with homework to watch in 1966.
