Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Major, Op. 44 - I. Allegro brillante

About this work

The first movement takes time to establish the orchestra before the piano takes hold of the argument with broad chords. Virtuosity then grows from the dialogue between that weight of sound and more singing episodes.

In the full score, locate what the orchestra announces before each solo entry. A secondary motive or bass line may explain the direction of a piano run that would seem merely decorative when read alone.

When rehearsing with the soloist, establish meeting points and breaths rather than relying only on visual accompaniment. Brilliant chords will retain momentum when their attack remains connected to the orchestral pulse.
