Piano Concerto No. 1

Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11 is a piano concerto by Frédéric Chopin, composed in 1830 and first performed that year. It features virtuosic, lyrical piano writing characteristic of the early Romantic period with orchestral textures that primarily support the soloist, and it occupies an early and defining place in Chopin's career as one of his first major public works that helped establish his reputation as a pianist-composer within 19th-century music.
