Piano Concerto no. 5, op. 73, in E-flat "Emperor"

Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, is a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809. Cast in three movements, it features expansive orchestral writing, virtuosic piano passages and prominent dialogue between soloist and orchestra, and as Beethoven's final completed piano concerto it occupies a transitional place between Classical concerto conventions and the emerging Romantic idiom.
