First paragraph of Mozart answer
The piano concerto in Am by Mozart is in 3 movements.
The first is in sonata form and this is a concerto. We begin with a double exposition - the first for the orchestra and the second for the piano
Second paragraph of Mozart answer
We have two subjects or themes in the exposition of the first movement : S1a, S1b, S2a, S2b
Each of these themes are different and S1b is interesting because each time it is played, the orchestra introduces it.
The second subject S2b can be described as tuneful or lyrical
Third paragraph of Mozart answer
When the piano exposition is heard, the form is still the same but it is more florid or decorative.
