Piano Concerto no. 21 / Symphony no. 40

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & National Philharmonic Orchestra & Desmond Faulkner

Piano Concerto No. 21 and Symphony No. 40 are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1785 and 1788 respectively. Both exemplify Mozart's mature classical style, with the concerto pairing lyrical, ornamented piano writing and transparent orchestral textures while the symphony features urgent motifs, increased chromatic harmony and a concise four-movement classical structure that reflect key developments in his late compositional period.
