	Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		23, was composed in November 1874 - February 1875 at the instigation of piano virtuoso Nikolai Rubinstein, director of the Moscow Conservatory.
		The piano soloist in the Moscow premiere in 1875 was Sergei Taneyev.
		The concerto is markedly symphonic in character and differs considerably from the more musically conservative and outwardly virtuoso type of concerto that was then widely popular in Russia, yet the technical demand placed upon the pianist remains considerable.

	Piano Concerto
		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.

		Beethoven completed five piano concertos, all relatively early in his career, building and expanding in scale and virtuosity, on the musical style established by Mozart.
		To hear all five is to join Beethoven on a journey through the development of the instrument he found most expressive: the piano.
		No 1 sets a striking, military mood with trumpets and drums while No 3 in C minor hints at the turbulence and grandeur to come in the last two concertos.

		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.

		BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op.
		A true Beethoven acolyte, Dino Ciani (1931-1974) gave the entire cycle of sonatas in the early 1970s, performing the two concertos inscribed here in 1973 and 1970.
		Having died in a car crash prior to recording a major group of concertos for posterity, Cortot pupil Ciani consequently finds scanty representation on commercial discs, and we are indeed lucky to enjoy any surviving documents.

	Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15
		It was not the only piano concerto he composed before the one he labeled âNo. l.â As it has become obligatory to mention in concert notes, the First Concerto was preceded also by the one in B-flat we know as No. 2, Op.
		Beethoven made his formal debut as a pianist in Vienna on March 29, 1795, as soloist in a new concerto of his own in a concert for the benefit of the widows and orphans of members of the Society of Musicians.
		The C-major Concerto, which the new evidence suggests was composed as early as 1793, was taken by Beethoven to Berlin, Pressburg (todayâs Bratislava) and Pest (part of todayâs Budapest) in 1796.

		Soloist Zoltan Kocsis and the orchestra were thoroughly integrated -- the piano was primarily treated as an extension of the percussion section, not a melodic vehicle.
		In the final piece of the evening, Janowski and the BSO distinguished their performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony with intensely sensitive interpretation of the softer passages, notably the oboe solo of the first movement and almost all of the adagio second movement.
		Unlike the Bartok Concerto No. 1, the distinction between orchestral and solo sections was clear.

		The program, consisting entirely of Beethoven premieres, began with the Symphony no. 6, followed, in order, by the concert aria, "Ah, perfido", two movements from the Mass in C major, the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Symphony no. 5, and, last but not least, the Choral Fantasy.
		Beethoven played the Fourth Concerto at a private concert given in March of 1807 at the Viennese palace of his faithful patron, the Prince Lobkowitz.
		The concerto was dedicated to the composer's friend, student, and patron, the Archduke Rudolf, to whom he would later dedicate the Grosse Fugue, the "Archduke" Piano Trio, and three piano sonatas, including the massive "Hammerklavier."

	SACD Review: Pennetier, Monte Carlo Philharmonic (Baudo) - ‘Beethoven: Piano Concertos No.1 and No.3’
		This movement is arguably the greatest slow movement in all of Beethoven’s piano concertos, and it has not lacked for great performances in the past, particularly that of Stephen Kovacevich (although he was known as “Stephen Bishop” at that time) with Colin Davis and the BBC Symphony, made in the early 1970’s for Philips.
		The piano is positioned even closer, giving a very wide piano effect for those who have their main speakers spread further apart than the width of an actual instrument.
		Some may prefer their Beethoven to be a little darker and earthier than that (and, often, I am one of them), and those listeners will do well to go with classic performances by Gilels and Kovacevich.

	Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		For the piano, he used powerful chords, rapid legato phrases, successions of chords in octaves in order to obtain a virtuoso counterpoint in the left hand, marked and unexpected contrasts...
		Prokofiev presented the concerto as follows: “a sonata(-form) allegro, with an introduction repeated after the exposition as well as at the end, a short andante before the development, the latter taking the form of a scherzo ending with a cadenza [announced by the entry of the tuba] introducing the recapitulation”.
		The orchestra remains plethoric in the suite, calling for no fewer than eight horns, five trumpets, four trombones, a tuba, the woodwind by four, two harps, a piano, celesta and the strings.

	[Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No. 1] notes by Paul Serotsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		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.

		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.

	dOc DVD Review: Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 / Piano Concerto No. 1 (1987)
		Murray Perahia is the soloist for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1, op.
		Perahia, in the first movement, uses the lengthiest of the three well-known cadenzas that Beethoven wrote for the piece about a decade later; although it certainly fits, the flavor of the cadenza is rather more dramatic and intense than the movement proper, and Perahia milks it for all that it's worth.
		Thus, there is no repeat of the first allegro in the first movement (though in Solti's defense, this one is rarely observed).

		No composer in the nineteenth century could aspire to the creation of a symphony without taking into account the example of Beethoven.
		In his Symphony No. 5, Beethoven achieved an unprecedented degree of unity and coherence through the use of a short musical phrase called a "motive" which recurs a number of times throughout the piece.
		In Piano Concerto No. 4, Beethoven breaks with tradition by beginning with an understated piano solo rather than a substantial orchestral introduction.

		This well-loved Beethoven piece begins with the quite, strings-only introduction and then changes with the entrance of the orchestra (complete with brass and timpani), to more resemble Beethoven’s natural style.
		When the piano finally enters, it’s with material that can heard as a variant of either of the 2 themes of music already presented earlier in the work.
		Beethoven's First Piano Concerto was recorded during the Richter’s triumphant 1960 tour of the United States.

		Although Beethoven performed on many such private occasions during these first few years, his official Viennese debut did not occur until April 1800, when he was the featured soloist and composer in a Hofburgtheater concert given late on a Wednesday afternoon.
		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.

		The Concerto is perhaps the finer of the first two of Beethoven’s early works in this genre, and the concentration of soloist, conductor and orchestra makes this performance very notable.
		Beethoven was obviously experimenting in this sonata with rhythm and the drama implicit in this work comes out clearly in the subsequent work.

		Murray Perahia is one of the world's top pianists living today; he gives an outstanding performance of the Concerto #1, full of grace, great touch, and superb musicianship.
		No matter how, we could feel the tradition of Bach and Mozart even in his Beethoven and this is much to his credit.
		I liked the Piano Concerto best, probably because it uses the smallest ensemble so the sound quality is less of an issue, and Perahia plays very well.

		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.
