Description
Piano Concerto No. 5 in D major, K. 175, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1773, at the age of 17. It is Mozart’s first fully original piano concerto; his previous efforts were based on works by other composers.
In Vienna, the concerto appeared on the programmes of Mozart’s academies of 3 March 1782 and 11, 23 and30 March 1783, though in altered form. For the original finale Mozart substituted a newly composed Rondo (K. 382)written in 1782 which received high acclaim from the audiences. Play-along CD included.
