Concerto for Solo Piano

Album by Charles‐Valentin Alkan & Marc‐André Hamelin

Concerto for Solo Piano is a piano composition by the French composer Charles‑Valentin Alkan, composed and published in 1857. Characterised by orchestral textures reproduced on the instrument and extreme technical demands, the piece functions as a concerto for solo piano and forms part of Alkan's Op.39 set of études, reflecting his idiosyncratic approach to Romantic piano writing in his mid‑career.
First released: 1992
