He had already written a piano concerto in A minor with string accompaniment (1822) and two concerti with two pianos (1823–4). use several relatively new formal techniques in their brief span — for example, the piano enters very soon after the opening of the first movement, with little of an orchestral tutti to contrast with. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Piano_Concerto_No._1_(Mendelssohn)   (130 words)

Tchaicovsky Piano Concerto No 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) Pianos do best in an ambient temperature that is not more than 20 degrees C or 68 degrees F. Humidity should be in the range of 40% to 75%. For a home piano that is not heavily used once a year may be enough, if the piano gets lots of use, which we hope it does, it should be tuned every six months.

Piano Concerto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) Tchaikovsky's piano concerto No. 1, in B flat Minor, was completed on February 21st, 1875 and had its first performance on October 25th, 1875, in Boston. The story of this piano concerto and its ultimate rejection by the man to whom it was dedicated is, perhaps, one of the most famous tales in all of classical music. So it was that the performance of Tchaikovsky piano concerto, a performance which was familiar to many in the audience and had arouse them to enthusiasm previously, this time took on an extra measure of inspiration. www.geocities.com /Vienna/5648/Piano.htm   (761 words)

Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 The piano tone is splendidly realistic and full, but there is sometimes a harsh edge to the string sound. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in D minor, Op. It was only later, probably in the course of 1855, that he decided definitively to make of it a concerto for piano and orchestra, because, among other things, he could not and did not want to give up altogether the original idea of piano sound. www.ivanmoravec.net /albums/al-su1993.html   (1067 words)

Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.1 The D flat chords of the latter's First Piano Concerto - one of the most famous opening solo gestures in the repertoire - are here transcribed for strings and brass. The piano itself then joins the orchestra in a surging lyrical theme, the kind of theme (and especially the kind of texture) that Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov likes to reserve for the culmination of a finale; and the kind of theme which seems destined, as this one does, to come to a full stop. Above all, the chameleon-like adaptation of the piano to its surroundings is pure Prokofiev. www.geocities.com /Vienna/1891/op10.html   (532 words)

Schumann Piano Concerto, Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 Underlying the Concerto's unity is the fact that it is virtually monothematic: most of the materials of the outer movements are thematic transformations of the Concerto's introspective opening theme. While the dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra in Schumann's Piano Concerto is gracious and poetic, the dialogue in Brahms' is combative and impassioned. The piano's lyrical opening theme soothes the orchestra's palpable sense of catastrophe; the warmth and serenity of the piano's majestic, flowing second theme is juxtaposed against the tragic, pathetic character of the orchestra. www.denisb.addr.com /albums/al-dor90172.html   (2254 words)

Stenhammer, Piano Concerto No. 1 Now, though the Concerto can be heard on three different recordings, it is in a sense almost as new to concert-goers as it was a hundred years ago. The Concerto leaves no doubt about Stenhammar's ambition: it is as long as the Brahms Second Piano Concerto (then just thirteen years old) and in the same four-movement form. The piano answers with a cadenza of double octaves, and the Concerto is underway with a dialogue between these two elements -orchestra and piano - instead of the traditional orchestral ritornello. www.americansymphony.org /dialogues_extensions/94_95season/3rd_concert/stenhammer.cfm   (1001 words)

Program Notes 1, was born in Moscow in 1835, trained in law as well as music, and was director of the Moscow Conservatory from its founding in 1866 until his death in 1881. The latter is a worthy, intelligent man, but with no inclination to assert himself; moreover, he is exceedingly garrulous and needs a long string of words just to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ He is incapable of giving his opinion in any decisive form and generally lets himself be pulled over to the strongest side. There he repeated that my concerto was impossible, pointed out many places where it would have to be completely revised, and said that if within a limited time I reworked the concerto according to his demands, then he would do me the honor of playing this thing of mine at his concert. www.sfsymphony.org /templates/pgmnote.asp?nodeid=2939&callid=2955   (2491 words)

INKPOT#105: MOZART Concerto No.25. BEETHOVEN Concerto No.1. Argerich/Various (EMI) Not only are both concertos in the same key, but according to Michael Steinberg in his book The Concerto, the march theme in the Allegro of K. 503 is similar in some respects to the opening theme of Beethoven's First Piano Concerto. There are moments like this in Beethoven's Third and Fourth Concertos (he wrote the Second Concerto before the First), but the First is the only one in which he devotes an entire development section to a reverie such as this.

The concerto, known ever since as his Piano Concerto no. 1, was actually his third attempt at the genre. Around age fourteen, Beethoven had completed a concerto in E-flat major, and in 1794, he completed another concerto, this one in the key of B-flat. w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de /cmp/beethoven_piano_con1.html   (363 words)

SA-CD.net - Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 etc. - Volodos I've never really been too keen on this concerto, certainly not as much as the Grieg or Rachmaninov Second if we're talking warhorses, but I can still make it worth my while hearing it every so often if the soloist can bring something fresh (which can't be easy with this work). This Sony SACD sounds rather more detailed than the DG (the piano a little crisper), and while both conductors accompany well, I would perhaps hold a slight preference for Ozawa - when he's on song he is an exciting conductor, and a fine accompanist (as evidence I would offer his superb Liszt concerti with Zimerman). This is a sleek and attractive performance of the concerto with moments of pianistic brilliance that cause you to jump from your chair. www.sa-cd.net /showtitle/1516   (1150 words)

INKPOT#67 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: BRAHMS Piano Concerto No.1 - An Inktroduction His Second Concerto is equally interesting with a distinct solo passage in the third movement played by cello and accompanied by the piano, something seldom seen. As the Concerto proceeds, there are hints of a troubled mind - it is strongly believed that Brahms was beginning to feel the effects of what Schumann was feeling when the latter jumped into the Rhine in a failed suicide attempt. The Concerto's scoring for the woodwind is often set in the distance to give a sense of premonition, of impending chaos marked by the cascading octaves on the piano marked by sudden outbursts of fortissimi and accented trills. www.inkpot.com /classical/brahmspfc1.html   (1222 words)

[Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No. 1] notes by Paul Serotsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) Following four early operas, some orchestral pieces, string quartets, and piano pieces, the essentially “youthful” concerto was the work which thrust him into the limelight and onto the crest of a wave which would produce, within a year, Swan Lake, the Third Symphony, the Rococo Variations and Francesca da Rimini. This central prestissimo is the one truly bold innovation, an idea utilised by Bartók in the two “Nachtmusiken” of his piano concertos. A vigorous, skipping Ukranian dance on the piano invites a stomping orchestral response, leaving a dizzy soloist to be gently stabilised by the strings' graceful counter-subject. www.musicweb-international.com /Programme_Notes/tchaik_pc1.htm   (983 words)

Tchaikovsky's immortal Piano Concerto No. 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) According to him, my concerto was worthless, unplayable; certain passages were so commonplace, awkward and clumsy that it would be impossible to improve them. I shall have the concerto printed exactly as it stands." Instead of throwing the music away, as Rubinstein had suggested, Tchaikovsky began to orchestrate the work. But the institutionalized dilettantism propagated by composers such as Mily Balakirev and Modest Mussorgsky was ultimately unable to prevent the international triumph of of the piano concerto. www.unitel.de /uhilites/010700.htm   (687 words)

Johannes Brahms - Piano Concerto 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) One such example, the most infamous one, was The Rite of Spring, but the First Piano Concerto by Brahms suffered a similar fate, a fact which must have been shocking to this composer, who so little identified with progressives. Those two works finally melded into one work, a piano concerto, which was completed late in 1858. He wanted something more integrated, in which the piano would be a part of the orchestral effect, essentially a symphony with piano, and in this case, a very grand symphony. w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de /cmp/brahms_piano_con1.html   (426 words)

Amazon.com: Music: Hélène Grimaud ~ Brahms - Piano Concerto No.1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) Grimaud has fought hard during her career not to be typecast as a "French" pianist doomed to spend her life playing cute little concertos by Saint-Saëns and keyboard fluff by Satie, and with this performance she really throws down the gauntlet. This is as classically Germanic a performance as you're likely to hear: rock solid, moderate tempos, a gorgeously modulated piano sonority, and a view of the music that perfectly balances passion with classical discipline. She is helped in no small measure by Sanderling, one of the great Brahms conductors of our day, and also by a live recording that catches the whole inspirational event on the wing. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000006CS6?v=glance   (1248 words)

BRAHMS: PIANO CONCERTO NO. 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) Before the concert, Bernstein felt the need to explain to the audience that his views of the Brahms Piano Concerto in D minor differed radically from the soloist's, the notoriously eccentric Glenn Gould. His distractingly mannered interpretation is so glacial and bereft of emotion that, instead of sounding stately and majestic, the Brahms concerto emerges like an amorphous blob. Gould, of course, was a brilliant Bach interpreter and a surprisingly good Beethoven player, but his Brahms, although not as dreadful as his Mozart, just doesn't cut it. www.metrotimes.com /music/rr/19/07/Brahms.html   (136 words)
