Cuthbert girdlestone has achieved something that few author's can claim: he has written two (currently) definitive books, this one on mozart's luminous piano concertos and an excellent biography of the great french composer/musical theoretician jean-philippe rameau, even though both books are quite old and are theoretically out-of-date.

Given the renaissance in early music performance that has occurred over the last half-century, many of the ideas that girdlestone espouses in the book can legitimately be described as extremely dated.

This most frequently manifests itself in the generally romantic cast with which he views both mozart the composer and his piano concertos, as well as a pronounced tendency to engage in poetic descriptions of mozart's music that recall an earlier era in music commentary.

This is hardly surprising when you consider that the french version of this book was originally published in 1939.

That was a time in which few of the mozart piano concertos were played or recorded, with only no.

Girdlestone analyzes each concerto from no.

One would do well to read the good reviews of this book printed in other editions for the content.
