Mozart - that is the composer who wrote the "Magic Flute" and "Don Giovanni", the "Requiem" and the "Coronation Mass", the "Little Serenade" and the "Musical Jokes", the "Violet" and the "Evening Feeling", the "Clarinet Concert" and the "Jupiter Symphony", the "Gran Partita" and the quartet "Dissonances".
What remains of this great composer if, on the occasion of his 250th birthday, we reduce him to a single genre, namely his piano music? And if we even leae aside the piano concerts, the chamber music and the songs with piano accompaniment? - Surprisingly, quite a lot! - In fact, his piano work alone allows us to roughly follow the path of his life!
The first instrument Mozart played was the piano. When he was only three years old, he would find thirds on this instrument and enjoyed their combination sound. As a wunderkind, he fascinated philistines and experts alike, as a pianist, he competed with the best of his time. However, the piano also proved to be his last instrument: Constanze, widow at 29, for the rest of her life treasured the clavichord he used to write the "Magic Flute" and "La Clemenza di Tito".
