Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major, K. 414 for Piano and Orchestra – Violoncello/Double Bass

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major, K. 414 was composed in Vienna in 1782 and belongs to the first piano concertos he wrote after settling in the city. The work combines the elegance of the Classical style with a chamber-like character and a clear dialogue between the solo piano and orchestra.

The concerto consists of three movements: Allegro, Andante and Allegretto. The middle movement is particularly lyrical, while the finale is distinguished by its lightness, transparent texture and lively instrumental dialogue.

This publication contains the violoncello and double bass parts, provided as combined performance material for the lower string section. These parts provide harmonic and rhythmic support for the orchestra and contribute to Mozart's characteristic balance between transparency and rich instrumental dialogue.

The material forms part of Bärenreiter's complete orchestral materials for K. 414 and is intended for performers during rehearsals and concerts.
