Piano Concerto no. 1

Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Maria João Pires & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & André Previn

Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor is a piano concerto by Frédéric Chopin, composed in 1830. The piece is an early Romantic concerto that foregrounds the piano with lyrical, piano-centred writing and virtuosic passages against an orchestra that often supports rather than competes, incorporating Classical structural elements and occasional nods to Polish dance rhythms, and it marks an important early statement in Chopin's compositional development.
