Piano Concertos 3 & 4

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Maria João Pires & Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester & Daniel Harding

Piano Concertos Nos. 3 and 4 are the third and fourth piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1800–1803 and 1805–1806 respectively. They exemplify Beethoven's expansion of the piano–orchestra relationship and formal language, with the third conveying dramatic contrasts and the fourth emphasising lyrical dialogue and orchestral colour, both signalling key developments in his move from the early to middle compositional period.
