Piano Concerto No. 18 (Mozart)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piano Concerto No. 18 in B flat Major, KV. 456 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in 1784.
The work is orchestrated for solo piano, flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings. As is typical with concertos, it is in three movements:
It is possible that this concerto was written for Maria Theresa von Paradis, based on a letter written around that time by Leopold Mozart to his daughter Nannerl, though the nineteenth concerto may have been meant instead.
