Concerto no. 1

Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15 is a piano concerto by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1858 and premiered in 1859. Marked by its expansive, symphonic scale and Romantic harmonic language, it juxtaposes virtuosic piano writing with dense orchestral textures and occupies an important place in Brahms's early career as a statement of his ambitions in large-scale instrumental form.
