K.271
In the Concerti page in this site, in the article for Op.58, the writer says "Only on one occasion had Mozart attempted such a concerto opening (K.271) but the effect is much less striking". I'm puzzled, because there is no piano solo in the opening of K.271, and the initial phrase isn't similar to the one in Op.58 - In the first case we have a tipically mozartian and graceful phrase, and in the second, a stately, smooth, and rather slow one.

The point is that the classical concerto usually states the whole exposition (1st and 2nd subjects) before the piano enters. In K.271 the piano enters in bar 2 - of course the effect is completely different to Beethoven's Op.58, but it was a break with the norm which Mozart never attempted again.
