The research also presented the innovative revolutionary of the pianistic and interpretational challenges of the performing techniques included a stylistically authentic and musically dramatic context.

In additional to making the Mozart’s concerto to be a well-crafted presentation, the theoretically edited cadenza has been perfectly designed to this dissertation.
