Mozart Piano Concerto 21 'Elvira Madigan'


10	Mozart Piano Concerto in C major, K467 'Elvira Madigan'

	Produced in less than one month in 1785, Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto was notoriously demanding for other soloists to perform to th ecomposer's own performance standard, but it remains the ne plus ultra of the Mozartian piano repertoire. The andante second movement became known as the 'Elvira Madigan' because of its prominent part in the Swedish film of the same name by Bo Widerberg released in 1967.
