Agree; none better, by the man anyway.

Wrong.  K466 is where it's at.

I like #9 K 271 where the piano jumps in right away. A bold and declaratory entry at that !

A major was a special key for Mozart, and No. 23 is certainly a great choice that I would not disagree with, but No. 9 in E-flat and No. 27 in B-flat would probably top my list as well, if I'm allowed multiple, because I can't choose only one.

24?
And, moreover, it is art in its most general and comprehensive form that is here discussed, for the dialogue embraces everything connected with it, from its greatest object, the state, to its least, the embellishment of sensuous existence.

The one I like best is written by Mozart. Afraid that is the best I can do... :)
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Also, the son Franz Xaver Mozart´s 2 piano concertos aren´t quite in the same league ;).

c minor K 491
G major K 453

and honorable mention for K 271 because it is so incredible considering when Mozart wrote it

Well, if you pop open my skull the sound of 21 will waft out I have played it so many times. More I am sure than piece of music by a long chalk. But I think my answer these days would be 23, 24, or 20.

KV 466
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

I like 27/595 most today, but I shall return to like something else tomorrow.

No votes for no. 22 yet? I'm not completely sure if it is my number one favorite but it is a candidate certainly.

The third movement is my favorite non-slow one.

I like KV503 (C-major, #25), and also KV537 (D-major, #26, "Coronation") although every CD I have every owned of it was accompanied by linear notes saying it was among Mozart's duds.

KV 466

+1

Coupled with Beethoven's number 3, and played by Richter. The opening strings are so dramatic...
