Piano Concertos Nos 4 & 5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Walter Gieseking & Philharmonia Orchestra & Alceo Galliera

Piano Concertos Nos. 4 & 5 are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1805 and 1809 respectively. They occupy a central position between the Classical and early Romantic eras, characterised by expanded orchestration, marked contrasts between solo piano and orchestra, and increased thematic development that broadened the piano's role within the concerto repertoire.
