Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 — II. Andantino semplice — Prestissimo — two-piano reduction

About this work

The second movement opens with a simple, calm melody before its central episode abruptly quickens the conversation.

The first piano retains the solo line and the second condenses the orchestral colours, especially around the wind replies.

Agree on the opening phrasing before rehearsing the Prestissimo separately, then reconnect the two characters without hardening the return.
