Rondo for Piano and Orchestra in A major (Mozart) instance of musical work/composition
The Rondo for Piano and Orchestra in A major, K. 386 is a concert rondo by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, believed by Alfred Einstein to have been composed in late 1782.Composition
Mozart wrote the Rondo in A major at around the same time as his three first Vienna piano concertos, nos. 11, 12 and 13.
When the autograph manuscript was sold, Mozart's widow and her helpers apparently were unable to locate the concluding pages, although some notations on it and contemporary correspondence show that they attempted to find the ending. Constanze Mozart sold the manuscript on November 8, 1799 to J. A. André, apparently with these final pages still missing, a fact that was unknown until Alan Tyson discovered them in the British Library in 1980. Before this, the rest of the autograph had been dismembered and scattered, and the only known version that was complete was Cipriani Potter's piano arrangement from about 1838. Alfred Einstein, using this and the two leaves of the score then known to be extant, published a reconstruction of the rondo in 1936, and further leaves that came to light were assembled in the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (Serie V, Werkgruppe 15, Band 8) and in a 1962 completion by Paul Badura-Skoda and Charles Mackerras. The final leaves discovered by Tyson have now been incorporated into a supplement to the NMA (Serie X, Werkgruppe 31, Band 3).
Einstein's hypothetical reconstruction, with the Cipriani Potter ending, can be heard in some older recordings of the Rondo, such as the one by soloist Annie Fischer and conductor Ferenc Fricsay (1959). Most recent recordings of the rondo, such as those of Murray Perahia and Malcolm Bilson, include the rediscovered original ending.
