Mozart: Piano Concerto No.21 "Elvira Madigan"

   
Audio example
 
Second movement
Mozart's slow movements demonstrate his lyrical gift, and this is one of the finest. At the time this piece was being composed, the piano was undergoing changes to increase its dynamic range and ability to sustain notes. Mozart's concertos consistently exploited these new qualities.
