Composer's Artistic Vision

Pianist Seong-Jin Cho believes Mozart's music contains 'everything,' with many layers that express all kinds of human emotions.

Interpretation

Seong-Jin Cho emphasizes that Mozart's music should be played like a singer, with breathing and flexibility, rather than strictly like some people assume for Classical period music.

Composition History

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K 466, is one of only two of his 27 piano concertos written in a minor key.

Interpretation

Seong-Jin Cho chose to perform the first-movement cadenza for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 by Beethoven, creating a blend of the two composers' styles.
