Description: Mozart's Piano Concertos is a collaboration by twenty of today's prominent musical thinkers. Generously illustrated with facsimiles, tables, and more than one hundred musical examples, it substantially advances our understanding of Mozart's wonderful works.

Its exceptional scope - addressing everything from textual problems (what notes should be played?) to questions of form (the striking identification of the concerto's first movement with the aria) to performance practice (how can we make the music sound more nearly as Mozart heard it?) - will make it invaluable to anyone who loves Mozart's piano concertos.
