As requested by Trọng Tuấn, here's the first movement of Mozart's 16th Piano Concerto. Due to having a far more complete MIDI file at my disposal, this time I was thankfully able to present a more accurate and complex cover here than the one for the 15th Concerto.

As the first of Mozart's Concertos to feature trumpets and drums, I made sure to make both of these as prominent as possible without compromising the overall sound.
I don't think this was too difficult to do, however, since Mozart himself made both of these instruments stand out right at the beginning, making for quite an attention-grabbing, martial-sounding opening.

Of particular note for me in this movement is the charming and catchy second theme (0:55), comprised of an initial phrase from the oboes and the horns, followed by a witty "answer" from the strings, full of grace notes that add a certain sense of playful clumsiness.

The piano enters the scene by imitating the martial opening of the movement (2:02), and then proceeds to expand on the music we heard before, even providing an interesting variant on the second theme I mentioned before (3:33).

The piano gently pushes the wind instruments into the development section (5:04), a relatively short plunge into an area of searching and a slight tone of melancholy.

Like I said, this development section is short, and the recapitulation section doesn't take very long to confidently reassert the opening of the movement (5:56), this time with an elaborate accompaniment by the piano enlivening it even further.
As expected, the second theme returns once again (6:48), its continuation this time leading to a passage that I find to be very satisfying, (7:34-7:40).

Eventually, as was standard fare in classical concertos, space is left for a cadenza (beginning at 8:36), an elaborate solo played by the pianist without the orchestra's accompaniment.
Said solo was usually left for performers to prepare for themselves or improvise on the spot, but this particular one I believe was composed by Mozart himself, but I'm not too sure about that. If anybody can confirm that, please let me know.

In any case, after the cadenza is over (9:37), the orchestra proceeds to wrap the movement up with the same assertiveness with which it began.
