Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the most influential composers of the Classical era. His Flute Concerto No.1 (K.313) and Flute Concerto No.2 (K.314), composed more than two centuries ago, play an important role in the rich repertoire of the flute. Among all the other compositions in the flute repertoire of the Classical era, Flute Concerto No.2 could be considered as one of the most mentioned and discussed pieces. With the focus of my thesis centered on Mozart's Flute Concerto No.2, I hope I would be able to provide thorough research on the piece through the study of related documents and biography, compositional style, compositional technique of the composer, and the application of materials and harmonic language in application to performance execution.

This thesis will be divided into 4 chapters: Chapter 1 outlines the purpose, motivation, subject, scope, method and related documents; chapter 2 presents the biography, compositional style and background; chapter 3 begins with an introduction of the Classical concertos as a genre, followed by the formal structure of the three movements, along with discussing the compositional technique, application of the materials, harmonic language, and the connection between movements; chapter 4, based on the analysis provided in chapter 3, further discusses the interpretation of the music.
