Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor"

Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, known as the Emperor, is a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1809. The work exemplifies the transition from the Classical to the early Romantic concerto, featuring a large-scale orchestral palette, prominent brass writing and a virtuosic yet integrated solo piano part, and it occupies a pivotal place in Beethoven's middle-to-late career as a culmination of his concerto innovations.
