Classical Music / Concertos
Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E-flat major, K. 365/316a, is simply known as Mozart Double Piano Concerto (No. 10). It is not known when the composer completed this concerto but a research by Alan Tyson, a Glasgow-born British musicologist who specialized in studies of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, shows that cadenzas for the first and third movements are written in Mozart and his father Leopold Mozart's handwriting on a type of paper used between August 1775 and January 1777 (Wiki). Most sources, however, including Alan Tyson's book Mozart: Studies of the Autograph Scores and Lindeman's The Concerto: A Research and Information Guide (2006) indicate that this concerto was composed in 1779.
It is presumed that Mozart wrote it to play with his sister Maria Anna
("Nannerl"). He later performed it in a private concert with his pupil
Josepha Barbara Auernhammer, an Austrian pianist and composer.

I've listened to some interpretations, but consider the best this one played by Daniel Barenboim and Vladimir Ashkenazy, "Barenboim, Ashkenazy: "Barenboim, Ashkenazy: Mozart Double Concerto - Documentary of 1966", with the English Chamber Orchestra. From 32.58 to 51.16: 32:58 Double Concerto, First movement 43:14 Double Concerto, Second movement 51:16 Double Concerto, Third movement This video was taken in March 1966, when Barenboim and Ashkenazy were then two great young pianists and good friends.
