I apologize for the error, I have already checked on the IMSLP Petrucci website but there I only find the score for 2 pianos

You're right! I wrote something stupid to you.

...maybe it all doesn't fit on 2 hands

More than a reduction, what's needed is a synthesis ... in short, one of those simplified versions for middle school kids

Mmmmm I don't think so! I studied the 466 and had the opportunity to see the scores of other concertos for piano and orchestra. The orchestra is always replaced by a second piano; it is actually impossible to play everything on a single piano, it would be devalued too much, and in my opinion, it is also devalued even with two pianos. In an orchestra, it's a completely different thing. However, there are all the sonatas for two pianos or for piano four hands which are very beautiful. If you are looking for something to study, that could be a nice thing if you find a study partner.

has a transcription for solo piano of Mozart's concerto no. 23 k448 ever been made? i am looking for the sheet music.

I am curious, why do you need the 448 for a piano?

To be able to play it alone, obviously, but since it hasn't been transcribed, I'll have to find someone who wants to play it with me at four hands or find an entire orchestra!!

I was joking, of course; thank you all for your interest.

There is an alternative, but I don't know where they can be found: there are recordings called "Minus One," which means "minus one," and they are basically recordings of the orchestral part of the most important piano concertos, but without the piano ("minus one," indeed) and they are used (at least, some pianists use them) to practice the concertos with a sound as close as possible to that of an orchestra. Try searching; in my opinion, the 488 should be there.

PS: in any case, if you have to do it all alone, you don't need a transcription: it is enough for you to use the part for two pianos by playing the second piano part when you are not busy playing the solo part (because I think doing both together would be difficult and anyway, when the soloist plays, the orchestra has accompaniment parts that in a "home" performance can easily be omitted).

Great, if you don't need to perform it live, Carlos's is an excellent suggestion. I have the K.466, Mendelssohn's number 1, and the K.521 for four hands; they are all recorded with real pianos and real orchestras...

They are quite expensive though, I think it's about €50 each but I don't remember exactly...

Thanks guys for the suggestion. Basically it would be like using a musical backing track to play over, I'll see what I can find around the web right away... speaking of playing four hands, enjoy this little gem :)
