Piano Concerto Nos. 4, 5 "The Emperor"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Emil Gilels

Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5 are piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1805 and 1809. They exemplify Beethoven's expansions of the classical concerto through greater harmonic daring, a more integrated and conversational relationship between soloist and orchestra, and structural innovations that situate the works in his middle period and anticipate Romantic tendencies.
