Document Summary

Piano concerto in a major, k. 488, first movement. Melody- listen to the number and variety of the melodies, each with its own distinct character.

He was criticized in his time that there were too many and audiences couldn"t follow along very well. Two different expositions, one for orchestra and one for the soloist and the orchestra together. The rst exposition (for the orchestra alone) stays in the tonic. Only the second exposition (for soloist and orchestra together) modulates to new key areas.
