Explanation:

Analyze Question 27

Using the Mozart Piano Concerto knowledge point
In Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488, the first movement is in double-exposition sonata form. The first exposition is played entirely by the orchestra (tutti exposition). When the soloist enters to begin the second exposition (solo exposition), the piano plays the primary theme completely unaccompanied. Therefore, the texture at the moment of the piano's first entrance is piano alone.

Analyze Question 28

Using the Mozart Piano Concerto knowledge point
The opening measures of the first movement of K. 488 present the first theme played by the orchestra during the orchestral exposition (tutti exposition). The piano does not play at all during these initial measures. Therefore, the texture in the opening measures is orchestra alone.
