Classical Music Playlist, September 9, 2024
Imagine that you create something TODAY that is celebrated 239 years from now in the year 2263. That’s the situation with the Mozart Piano Concerto #21: composed in 1785 but still celebrated today, 239 years later, in 2024.
And along the way the concerto had an influence on other works.
The Concerto also became known as the “Elvira Madigan” Concerto after the 2nd movement was featured prominently in the 1967 Swedish film of that title. And Neil Diamond’s 1972 hit, “Song Sung Blue,” is based on a theme from that same 2nd movement.
Save for that 2nd movement with its dreamy nocturnal atmosphere, the Concerto brims with sunny uplifting fanfares and ebullient themes leading to a high-spirited finale. The Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
