Mozart performed his 1788 Piano Concerto No. 26 at the Coronation of Leopold the 2nd in 1790. His publisher then attached the nickname the “Coronation” Concerto as if Mozart had written the two year old piece TO BE played at the coronation. Two years old or now well over two HUNDRED years old, the Concerto still sounds fresh and charming, and it’s today’s Midday Masterpiece.
