Piano Concerto No. 19 (Mozart) composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The Piano Concerto No. 19 in F major, K. 459 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written at the end of 1784: Mozart's own catalogue of works records that it was completed on 11 December (works surrounding it in the Köchel catalogue are K. 458, the "Hunt" quartet and K. 464, the fifth of the Haydn set). It is occasionally known as the "second coronation concerto" on account of Mozart playing it on the occasion of the coronation of Leopold II in Frankfurt am Main in October 1790. The autograph is held by the Berlin State Library. The first edition was produced by Johann André of Offenbach in 1794, and Breitkopf & Härtel produced an edition in 1800. Like most of Mozart's concertos it is in three movements:Exposition
72–79 A (piano)
79–87 A (piano plus orchestra)
87–95 B (in orchestra, piano accompanies), modulates to C major at end
95–99 x (piano)
100–105 x (piano plus orchestra) then short passage connecting to A
106–111 A (orchestra), still in C
111–130 A (piano plus orchestra), in d minor then modulates through suspensions through various keys
130–138 y (orchestra) in C major
138–148 y (piano, but with strings at 142–44)
149–164 A (fragments of the rhythm in orchestra, piano accompanies), modulates through various keys
164–167 linking passage similar to 32–36 (in orchestra, piano accompanies), in C major
168–171 D (orchestra, piano accompanies), in F major again
171–177 linking passage similar to 32–36 (in orchestra, piano accompanies)
178–180 D (piano, orchestra accompanies)
181–188 Free passage, based on the triplets of D (piano with orchestral accompaniment), finishing on the shake at 178 on D, signifying the end of the exposition.
