The A major concerto K488 was one of three piano concertos written during the winter of 1785-86, whilst Mozart was also at work on his opera The Marriage of Figaro. Set in the usual three- movement form, it is one of his most attractive works, contrasting a genteel opening movement with a pathos-laden second movement and a bubbling, joyous finale. During the late 18th century no other composer had such a defining influence on the piano concerto than Mozart; in his works in this genre one finds an outpouring of inventiveness and variety of mood, melody and, importantly, form. The first movement is set in a modified sonata form, as was typical of Classical concertos.
