Concerto No. 9 in E-flat Major, K.271

Description

Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 1704

Two copies required for performance

The Piano Concerto No. 9 “Jenamy” (often incorrectly nicknamed “Jeunehomme”) in E-flat Major, K. 271, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in Salzburg in 1777, when Mozart was 21 years old.


Mozart completed the concerto in January 1777, nine months after his Piano Concerto No. 8 in C major and with few significant compositions in the intervening period. He composed the work for Victoire Jenamy, the daughter of Jean-Georges Noverre and a proficient pianist. Mozart performed the concerto at a private concert on 4 October 1777. Jenamy may have premiered the work earlier.

Three movements:

1. Allegro in Eb major

2. Andantino in C minor

3. Rondo (Preswto), in Eb major
