The Piano Concerto No. 25 in C major, K. 503, was completed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on 4 December 1786, alongside the Prague Symphony, K. 504. Although two more concertos (No. 26, K. 537 and No. 27, K. 595) would later follow, this work is the last of what are considered the twelve great piano concertos written in Vienna between 1784 and 1786.[1] Chronologically the work is the 21st of Mozart's 23 original piano concertos.
K. 503 is now widely recognized "by common consent" as "one of Mozart's greatest masterpieces in the concerto genre".[2] However, it had long been neglected in favor of Mozart's other "more brilliant" concertos, such as No. 21, K. 467. Though Mozart performed it on several occasions,[3] it was not performed again in Vienna until after his death, and it only gained acceptance in the standard repertoire in the later part of the twentieth century.[4] Mozart's pupil Johann Nepomuk Hummel valued it – it was one of seven of Mozart's concertos which he arranged for chamber music ensemble.[5]
