Although the twenty-third Piano Concerto is famed for its graceful melodies and elegant structure, it was not published during Mozart's lifetime, because Mozart himself withheld the piece from publication. In a letter to his father, he cites it as being amongst 'the compositions that I keep for myself or for a small circle of music-lovers and connoisseurs, who promise not to let them out of their hands.' This special concerto was not a piece that he was willing to trade for mere money. Even when his finances were at their worst, he would not sell this score, but rather retained it as a personal treasure. This is a two piano score of Mozart's famous work and, as an Urtext edition, provides you with a highly accurate realisation of the composer's original intentions.
