The Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major (K. 595) is the last of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756 – 1791) piano concertos, of a total of 21.
He wrote it in 1791, the year of his death. At its premiere in Vienna, Mozart played the solo part himself – it was to be his final public appearance at the piano.
Even though this is the last of Mozart’s piano concertos, the drive to realize new compositional forms is nonetheless still very evident.
Echoes of Mozart’s well-known spring composition Komm Lieber Mai… (Longing for the Spring) can be heard in the third movement, the Rondo.
Although it's written in a major key, the piece sounds mournful, infused with a sense of yearning.
The composer had fallen on hard times and was hoping to acquire some financial security by producing a large body of work.
Music was his elixir of life: On October 17, 2012, just before his 90th birthday, pianist Menahem Pressler gave a concert in Paris' Salle Pleyel. With the Orchestre de Paris conducted by Paavo Järvi, Pressler played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major, K. 595.
Nimble fingers even at grand old age – Menahem Pressler is proof that it's possible.
The star pianist was able to look back over a 50-year career.
Between 1955 and 2008 he was performing some 100 concerts each year with the Beaux Arts Trio alone.
Menahem Pressler passed away on May 6, 2023, aged 99.
