Piano Concertos No 1 & 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Glenn Gould & Toronto Symphony Orchestra & Sir Ernest MacMillan

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries (circa 1787–1801). They combine Classical forms and orchestral textures with increasingly individual harmonic language and virtuosic piano writing, documenting Beethoven's transition from the Classical conventions of his early career towards the more expressive idiom he developed subsequently.
