Concerto no. 1 for Piano & Orchestra in D minor, op. 15

Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15 is a piano concerto by Johannes Brahms that was completed and premiered in 1859. The work exemplifies the Romantic concerto, pairing expansive, symphonic orchestral textures with virtuosic and often introspective piano writing, and its large-scale structure and dense harmonic language mark an important step in Brahms's emergence as a composer of major orchestral works.
