Description
Aside from the five great piano concertos, it is easy to forget that Beethoven had already turned to this genre in Bonn during his youth. The Concerto in E-flat, written in 1784, still shows stylistic signs of the influence of Johann Christian Bach's works. A score of this concerto has not survived; all that remains is a copy of a piano part that was revised by Beethoven. It contains the solo part without any orchestral accompaniment; however, when the piano is silent and orchestral tutti passages are interposed, it incorporates a piano reduction of the orchestral part.
