Abstract

Aim of study is to consider Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano concertos in the context of genre development. To achieve this aim, the following objectives defined: 1) to trace concerto origins; 2) to identify solo concerto origins; 3) to reveal the peculiarities of the musical language of Mozart piano concertos. The thesis concept contains a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach that contributes to the multidimensional disclosure of the phenomenon of classical concert. Due to the need to determine the individual stylistic amplitude of Mozart's piano concertos, the analytical (structural-compositional, intonation) perspective of the study is updated. The problems of identifying the features of manifestations, ways and directions of development of the classical concert in Mozart's work were used by a comparative method to compare the piano concerto of composers of Mozart's predecessors and contemporaries.
