Movements of The Concerto
The concerto has the following three movements:
- Allegro D major common time
- (Larghetto) A major cut time
- (Allegretto) D major 2/4
The second and third movements have their tempos given above in parentheses because in the autograph these are not given in Mozart's own handwriting but were written in by someone else. (The Neue Mozart-Ausgabe places the note "Tempobezeichnung im Autograph von fremder Hand" on both movements, though the old Breitkopf & Härtel Complete Works edition does not have any indication that the tempos are not Mozart's own.)
