Franz Xaver Mozart was born just four months before the death of his father, Wolfgang Amadeus. A pianist of similarly precocious talent, he nevertheless wrote just two piano concertos: coupled with
Clementi's only surviving essay in the genre, they make a sparkling addition to our Classical Piano Concerto series.
