Analysis


The Mozart moment rankings are shown, for easy comparison, to the right of each of the
top Mozart piano pieces and piano concertos. Two-thirds of the Mozart works had
Köchel numbers above K450. There were 9 Mozart moments in the 2006 results that
were not in the 2004 or 2007 results and there were 2 Mozart piano concertos in the 2004
results that were not in the 2006 results.


As I was correlating movements with whole pieces and whole concertos, the results were
only broadly comparable. The main surprise was that the Variations on Ah vous dirai-je
Maman K265 were much more popular with 2006 voters than with 2004 voters.


Overall there was a good correlation between the sets of results.
