Mozart's music is mercurial, with rapid and frequent changes of mood, where enthusiastic moments can be interrupted by melancholy and poignant moments by a 'wink'.
Compositional Technique
The only difference in orchestration between K467 and K482 is the substitution of clarinets for oboes in K482, which creates a 'generosity of sound'.

Compositional Technique
The concertos from this period, including K467, are characterized by theatricality, with the piano often acting as a 'prima donna' protagonist.
