I know this probably is too broad a question and am sorry this list is not the appropriate place to address it. But here it goes... I am looking for discussion lists I may address specific questions about details of composers' lives and works. The closes to what I have in mind is the discussion lists on the stupendous Bach site. But in most other cases (eg the Handel lists I have browsed and visited) are geared towards scholars, where too much is presupposed for someone like me. After this sort of tiresome intro, the question I have mind now and which has prompted this query is, why Mozart may have written concerti for 2 and 3 pianos. Isn't it unusual in terms of 18th century practice? Moreover he seems to have composed his 2 such concerti fairly early in his career, in fact right after he had started composing piano concerti. sevgiler, iskender www.defterisk.blogspot.com *********************************************** The CLASSICAL mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's HDMail High Deliverability Mailer for reliable, lightning fast mail delivery.
