Abstract
The piano concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been important as they exemplify solo concerto's transition in style and form from Baroque to Classic period. Characterized in both quality and quantity, Mozart's piano concertos not only contribute to the repertoire of the eighteenth century concertos, but also provide a path for better understanding of his artistry. K.413, 414, and 415 occupied a very special position for being composed during 1782 and 1783, a turning point of Mozart's career. With these three works, Mozart started a highly prolific years writing piano concertos-a total amount of seventeen were accomplished during his Viennese period. The present study analyzes and compares the first movements of the three concertos, focusing on their changes of forms and arrangements of themes. It is found that many differences exist under their similar outlooks, which reveal the composer's great craftsmanship as well as deep concern on contemporary styles while exploring into concerto's essential duality.
