"""Mitsuko Uchida plays piano and Jeffrey Tate conducts the Mozarteum Orchestra in Mozart's Piano
Concerto No. 9 """"Jeunehomme"""" in E flat major K. 271. A Saltzburg Festival performance recorded
in the Mozarteum Saltzburg 1989 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed this concerto in Salzburg 1777.
Though only 21 years old he displayed great maturity and originality in what is regarded by many as
his first great masterpiece. It was composed for a Mlle. Jeunehomme of whom very little is known
(such as--her first name!). But she must have been a very fine pianist to be able to perform this!
The mix of dramatic and intense emotions some seemingly mad and anguished with parts of joy and
happiness suggest (one romantically feels) that Mlle. Jeunehomme must have been quite a handful for
the young Mozart. 1. Allegro in E flat major and common (C) time 2. Andantino in C minor and 3/4
time 3. Rondo (Presto) in E flat major and 2/2 time"""
