Mozart's D Minor Piano Concerto

I caught part of the 1st movement (on the radio) this morning of the C Major. I think it is my favorite of the Mozart concerti.

The problem with choosing a favorite piano concerto is I'm too often swayed by what I just heard. Mozart's #20 and #22 slways stay at the top of my list though.

I think the Romanza (2nd movement) of #20
is spectacular.He begins with an incredibly simple classical theme then transitions quite a ways out into romantic/Chopinesque
territory to return and close just as it began. Who says Beethoven was the romantic transition composer ?
