Did Mozart use a harpsichord in his later works?

The short answer is basically not that I am aware. Perhaps someone else is. In any event, this essay, "Mozart and the Keyboard Culture of His Time" covers the question in much more depth: http://www.biu.ac. read more

Nevertheless, Mozart didn't by any means ABANDON his playing of the harpsichord, and even played late works on the instrument. From research, I understand this to include his Piano Concerto No.26 (the so called "Coronation" concerto) written in 1788, three years before his death. read more

Mozart only started playing the piano later on in life, and even then he continued to rely on the harpsichord until his death. He is known to have still played even his very last works on the harpsichord. One example is his penultimate "Coronation" concerto. read more
