Martin James Bartlett plays W.A. Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 9, K. 271: II. Andantino

In this performance, acclaimed pianist Martin James Bartlett takes on the hauntingly beautiful second movement, Andantino, of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat major, K. 271. Often cited as Mozart's first true masterpiece, the "Jeunehomme" concerto breaks traditional molds. The second movement shifts into the somber key of C minor—a rarity for Mozart at the time—delivering an operatic, almost tragic dialogue between the piano and the strings. Bartlett’s signature sensitivity and technical precision bring out the "Sturm und Drang" intensity of this movement, capturing every nuance of its melancholic grace.
