Bagatelles, Op. 126 / Piano Concerto No. 1

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Piotr Anderszewski

Bagatelles, Op. 126 / Piano Concerto No. 1 is a classical recital pairing works by Ludwig van Beethoven, with the Piano Concerto No. 1 composed in the late 1790s (published 1801) and the Bagatelles, Op. 126 composed and published in the mid-1820s. The programme contrasts the youthful, concertante Classical style of the concerto, with its clear melodic lines and orchestral interplay, against the late-period Bagatelles' compact, introspective piano miniatures that display Beethoven's mature harmonic language and compressed forms, illustrating the composer's development from Classical clarity towards the expressive depth of his late style.

First released: 24th March 2008
