Notes & Reviews:

Written in 1777, when Mozart was just 21, this early composition is astonishing in its maturity, and is easily the peer of his later great 'Viennese' concerti. Clementi's Concerto for Piano in C Major was originally thought to be adapted from his 'Sonata Op 33, No 3', but scholars now believe it to be the other way around. The work was lost until rediscovered in the 1960s. Clementi himself performed the concerto in 1790. Here is a classic contrast between the intuitive genius and the rigorous intellectual. Mozart dismissed Clementi as a mere 'mechanic', but the latter's contribution should not be undervalued. His tomb proclaims him "Father of the pianoforte", and his teaching of technique and contribution to the development of the piano were of major importance.
