Are there any recordings of Mozart playing piano/harpsichord/keyboard?
No, Mozart died well before there was any recording technology. You should check out Alfred Einstein’s biography of Mozart for quotes from Mozart’s cotemporaries regarding his playing skill. http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-His-charact… Also, the Mozart chapter in Harold Schonberg’s “The Great Pianists” has some revealing and surprising things to say about Mozart’s style and technique. If you don’t own this book and it’s companion “The Great Composers”, then get them. Not in depth, but informative, and he is very careful not to pass along apocryphal anecdotes. So the information is reliable. Happy reading and listening!
