What does the K stand for in Mozart Piano Concerto K. 281?

Answer 1

Mozart piano concerto k. 281

Mozart concertos were numbered, KV and a number, K means kv and the following number is how to identify the specific piano concerto.

Kochel was a man who categorized Mozart's works, so K actually stands for Kochel (technically there should be an umlaut over the o, but I don't know how to do that on my computer).

Great concise explanation of the K in Mozart! Köchel can be written by holding the Alt key and typing 148.

Answer 2

Kirkpatrick. He helped popularize Scarlatti's sonatas and he cataloged Scarlatti's works. His guide to playing Scarlatti, in Q and A form in his edition of 60 sonatas, is terrific. However, he did not write piano concerti. He wrote sonatas for harpsichord. His pupil was a very talented princess. The other cataloguer of Domenico Scarlatti sonatas is Longo. You'll see different Lxxx and Kyyy numbers for the same sonata. By coincidence, Mozart K.281 is a piano sonata (not concerto). The K there is for Kochel (two dots over the "o"), whose catalog numbers for Mozart are universally used.

Answer 3

The "K" stands for a man named Ludwig von Köchel, who catalogued all Mozart's works. They are listed like so: K168 (that example is for his Fantasia in F Minor for organ).

Köchel was actually a scientist not a professional musician. He specialised in botany and mineralogy.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Ludwig Ritter Von Köchel was a man who organized almost all of Mozart's music, giving them a K or Köchel number. 99% of Mozart's surviving music has a Köchel number.
