Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 — I. Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso — former orchestral part 1

About this work

In the first half of the movement, the broad opening chords give way to more mobile writing in which soloist and orchestra exchange motives.

The new edition reunites the entire movement in a two-piano reduction, with the solo part on one keyboard and the orchestra on the other.

Use the broad opening chords to set the balance, then mark the long spans where the accompanying pianist must maintain a supple pulse.
