Piano Concerto no. 1 in D minor, op. 15

Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15 is a piano concerto by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1858 and first performed in 1859. The work combines Romantic orchestral breadth with virtuosic piano writing and symphonic density, featuring expansive themes, rigorous development and dramatic contrasts, and as Brahms's first piano concerto it serves as an early orchestral statement that points toward his later symphonic output.
