CONCERTO 6 B flat Major KV 238
Composed: Salzburg, January 1776
Mozart is 20 years old.
1777, 6 October, Munich
“then I played the Concerto in C, in B flat, and in E flat, and then my trio”.
1777, 24 October, Augsburg
“The concerto for 3 claviers: Herr Demmler played the first part, I: the second, and Herr Stein the third. Then I played alone, the last sonata in D [which I wrote] for Drnitz : then my concerto in B flat…”
1793 First posthumous publication, Andr, Offenbach.
CONCERTO 17 G major KV 453
Composed: Vienna, before 12 April 1784
Mozart is 28 years old.
1784, 26 May, Vienna
“The concerto which Herr Richter praised so much is the one in B flat, which is the first one which I wrote and for which he had already given me so many compliments. I can’t really choose between these two concerti–I think both of them will make the player sweat a bit–but the one in B flat is greater in difficulty than the one in D.–Moreover I am very eager [to know] which, among the 3 concerti in B flat, D and G, pleased you and my sister the most. The one in E flat does not belong at all to the same group.–It is a very special sort of concerto, and written more for a small than for a large orchestra–thus I am referring only to the 3 larger concerti. I am eager to know if her opinion is the same as mine and that of people in general. Obviously it is necessary to hear these concerti in a good performance and with all the orchestral parts. I am more than willing to wait until I get them back again–just make sure that no one else gets his hands on them. Just today I could have had 24 Ducats for one of them–but I think it would be of more use to me if I keep it to myself for a couple of years, and only then publicize it by having it engraved.”
1787 first (?) publication Heinrich Ph. C. Bossler, Speyer.

1785, 16 February,
“Leopold to Nannerl … on that Friday (10 II 85) in the evening, we went out to his first subscription concert, where there was a great crowd of personages of high degree. Every person pays a Souvrin d’or or 3 Ducats for the 6 Lenten concerts. It is at the Mehlgrube, he [Mozart] pays only a half Souvrin d’or for each time he uses the hall. The concerto was incomparable, the orchestra excellent, in addition to the symphonies a woman from the theatre sang 2 arias. Then there was a new, excellent concerto by Wolfgang which the copyist was still finishing when we arrived, and your brother didn’t even have time to play through the Rondeau, because he had to supervise the copying….”

“…in haste, gave 3 Subscription academies [concerts] for 120 subscribers;- …a new Clavier concerto in E flat which he wrote for the occasion, and the Andante of which he had to repeat (a rather uncommon thing for him) 1800/01 First posthumous publication, Andr, Offenbach. Concerto 23 A major KV 488 Completed: 2 March 1786 Mozart is 30 years old 1786, 30 September, Mozart to Kammerdiener Sebastian Winter (Hof Donaueschingen) Tomorrow the music you requested will leave here with the post coach;…it its nothing strange that a few of my pieces have been sent abroad–but they are pieces which I wrote quite casually, and I sent you the themes, only because it was still possible that the pieces had not arrived. But the pieces which I reserve for myself or for a small circle of amateurs and connoisseurs (in return for their promise not to let them out of their possession) cannot possibly be known abroad, because they are not even known here;–such is the case with the 3 concerti which I have the honor to send to Your Lordship…there are 2 clarinets in the Concerto in A–should they not be available at your Court, then a suitable copyist should transpose them into the right key so that the first part can be played by a violin and the second with a viola….”

Concerto 24 c minor KV 491
Completed: 24 March 1786
Mozart is 30 years old.
Not mentioned in the correspondence (Von Nissen’s information is incorrect: c minor must be E flat major). The following text may provide an explanation for the silence: “(Mozart) is indisputably one of the greatest of original geniuses, and up until now I have known no other composer who possesses such an amazingly rich imagination. I would only wish that he were not so wasteful with it. He doesn’t give the listener time to catch his breath; for when one wants a moment to think about some beautiful idea, there is already another beauty there before one which obscures the first, and it always goes on that way without pause, so that at the end one cannot keep one of these beauties in one’s memory.” (Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf)

Concerto 26 D major KV 537 “Krönungskonzert”
Completed 24 February 1788 according to Mozart’s “Verzeichnss”
Mozart is 32 years old.
The work was probably truly completed just in time for the first performance on 14 April 1789 in Dresden (if it were actually completed at that time).
1789, 16 April, Dresden, “the other day I played the new concerto in D at Court.”
1790, 8 October, Frankfurt am Main: “…and then, it’s just empty talk about the Imperial Cities.–I am certainly famous, admired, and popular here; for the rest people here are even meaner with money than they are in Vienna.–If the concert here is reasonably successful, then is it thanks to my name, or that of the Countess Hatzfeldt and the House of Schweitzer, who have enthusiastically taken my part?–for the rest I will be very happy when it’s all over.”
