On the same concert, which he called a “Grand Musical Academy,” Mozart also debuted his newest piano concerto, the magnificent C major, K 503.   As an encore he improvised at the piano one dozen variations on “Non più andrai” from The Marriage of Figaro after he had extemporized at the keyboard for over half an hour on other musical subjects.
