Re: Mozart's 24th Piano Concerto
To follow up on my last post - The name of the horn player that Mozart wrote
his horn concerti for was named - JOSEPH LEUTGEB ! - I couldn't remember it
earlier.
It's terrible to be in my 30's and have my memory start to go.....

I have a question that's going to show off how little I know
about the
history of music.
Was Mozart's music performed by other musicians under other
directors in his
own time? When he didn't bother to write out all the parts
for the left
hand, say, did he really expect other pianists to complete
the score with
significant additions when they performed it, or was the
lack of
completeness merely for his own benefit, a type of
shorthand for himself,
as in "why bother to write all this stuff down when I'm the
only person
who's going to be performing them and I know how the play
the concerto
already?"
In more general terms, how prevalent was the practice of
performing other
composers works during Mozart's time?
Thanks,
Jim
