Concerto For 3 Pianos No. 7 In F Major, K.242 (lodron)




It has three Movements :

  • Allegro

  • Adagio

  • Rondo : Tempo di Minuetto


He wrote the piece for his noble patroness, the Countess Maria Antonia Lodron and her daughters, and the concerto is sometimes called the ''Lodron'' concerto. He composed the piece to capture the women in the most flattering light. However, Mozart was not one to conform to the demands of polite society, and the concerto ends with a joke- a false coda, followed by the real one.

Girdlestone, in his ''Mozart and his Piano Concertos'', describes the concerto and compares one of the themes of its slow movement to similar themes that turn up in later concertos - especially the twenty-fifth (K. 503) - in more developed forms.
