Concerto No 1 In E Minor Two Piano Score PDF Download

Excerpt from Concerto No. 1 in E Minor (Two-Piano Score) The chronology of the two piano Concertos has given rise to controversy; the trouble arose from the F minor Concerto, it being numbered Opus 21, though composed before the Concerto in E minor. The former was published April, 1836; the latter September, 1833. Both works derive from Hummel and Field. The passage-work is superior in design to that of the earlier masters, the general character episodical, but episodes of rare worth and ori ginality. As Ehlert says: Noblesse oblige - and thus Chopin felt himself compelled to satisfy all demands exacted of a pianist, and wrote the un avoidable piano Concerto. It was not consistent with his nature to express himself in broad terms. His lungs. Were too weak for the pace in seven league boots, so often required in a score. The Trio and Sonata for piano and Violoncello were also tasks for whose accomplishment Nature did not design him. He must touch the keys by himself without being called upon to heed the players sitting next him. He is at his best when, without formal restraint, he can create out of his inmost soul.
