🇩🇪Ludwig van Beethoven ： Piano Concerto WoO 4 Es-Dur

Only the solo piano part survives, yet the work reveals a clear conception of the concerto genre and belongs to Beethoven’s early period. It consists of three movements: in the first, it is important to follow the presentation and development of the themes with clarity; in the second, listen for the breathing of the melody and the subtle changes in harmony. The finale is notable for its light, agile movement and engaging exchanges. In performance, avoid rushing the ornaments and rapid passages, maintain a steady sense of meter, and bring out the clear handover between voices. In versions completed from the surviving materials, careful attention should also be given to the balance between soloist and accompaniment.
