- Abstract
Mozart Concerto no.23 K.488 is one of Mozart’s most famous concertos. Also one of the favourite and frequently performed works of several historical piano masters, this work by Mozart features a contrasting suite structure in three movements: fast-slow-fast, where the first sonata form features a “double presentation section”, cadenza with solo instruments. Goldsmith’s [1] analysis of horowtiz’s performance [1], and Neighbour’s analysis of Curzon [2]. However no one has judged the recordings of the 2 individuals in 18th century performance style. My aim is to gain a deeper understanding of Mozart’s no.23 concerto by comparing the recordings played by the two different players. My approach is to judge Horowitz and Curzon’s recordings using the specific classical style of the 18th century as a criterion for my research.
