W. A. Mozart: Piano concerto No. 20, d minor, KV 466
Fančovič, Peter ; Lapšanský, Marian (advisor) ; Bilinská, Kvitoslava (referee) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
In this work I tried to analyse Mozart´s piano concerto in d minor on the basis of the knowledge I achieved so far.
In the introduction, I mentioned my motivation for writing this paper.
The first chapter is a brief look into the life of Mozart, particularly to his childhood, which was essential for the development of his personality.
In the second chapter, I sketched out a list of Mozart´s piano concertos and added a few notes about the circumstances under which the concertos were composed as well as interesting facts about their formal structure.
However, it´s only a brief description that serves mainly as an introduction to the third chapter.
In this chapter, I was solely concerned with the concerto in d minor. The chapter begins with a short passage about how this concerto was composed and about its premier performance.
The next four sub- chapters contain an analysis of each movement along with a discussion about the cadences.
The fourth and fifth chapters discusses two interesting aspects related to the d minor concerto the use of the pedal that Mozart may have used while performing this concerto and the use of basso continuo.
At the end of my paper I wrote about the significance of adhering to the musical text with possible conseqenses that accompany a performer that does not follow the composer`s instructions. Another issue my conclusion adresses is the opposite; when a pianist becomes a slave of the musical text.
My paper is concluded with a list of works cited.
