Piano Concerto No. 17 KV453, Piano Quintet KV452

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & English Chamber Orchestra & Jeffrey Tate & Mitsuko Uchida

Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K.453, and the Piano Quintet in E-flat major, K.452 are compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1784 and 1785 respectively. Both works are in the Classical style, the concerto pairing solo piano with orchestra in balanced, conversational textures while the quintet pairs piano with a string quartet for close chamber dialogue, and they date from Mozart's mature middle period when he sought to expand the expressive range of the piano within established forms.
