Joannes Chrisostomus Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart—who began calling himself Wolfgango Amadeo about 1770 and Wolfgang Amadè in 1777 (he used “Amadeus” only in jest)—was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, and died in Vienna on December 5, 1791.

Based on evidence from the autograph manuscripts, Mozart wrote his first violin concerto in 1773 and nos. 2–5 in 1775. No. 5 was completed on 20 December that year. There is no information about the first performances of any of the five concertos, but Mozart is known to have played each of them at some point, even if he likely composed them with other Salzburg-based violinists in mind (e.g. the Salzburg concertmaster, Antonio Brunetti). Mozart provided cadenzas — virtuosic, often improvised passages for the soloist — near the end of each movement. Hilary Hahn performs her own cadenzas in these concerts.

Mozart was only 19 when he wrote the last of his violin concertos, proving that he was the master not only of the concerto, but also of the violin. In these pieces, he fully realised the dramatic potential of the dialogue between soloist and orchestra, as well as the true elegance and power of the violin. He first learned about the instrument's potential from his father.
