No other living pianist has attempted this feat. The event is planned for the Festival Mozaic in San Luis Obispo, California, a venue in which Yoo conducts every summer. The focus of the exercise is Concerto No. 20 for piano and orchestra that was premiered February 10, 1785. The concertos were designed to help market Mozart's musical talents during 1784-86 in Vienna. Making this challenge more difficult is that Goodyear has no experience as a conductor. Yoo coaches Goodyear in elements of conducting that are refined through a week of rehearsals. In an attempt to push Goodyear toward a more modern sounding improvisation, Yoo invites jazz bassist Sue Cahill and drummer Clayton Cameron to jam with him. Also featured are excerpts from the overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" played by the festival orchestra plus Yoo and Goodyear playing the first movement of Violin Sonata 22.
