Piano Concerto no. 2 / Haydn Variations

Album by Johannes Brahms & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein & André Watts

Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Variations on a Theme by Haydn are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1881 and 1873 respectively. They exemplify his mature late-Romantic style, combining expansive, symphonic piano-writing and dense orchestral textures in the concerto with contrapuntal variation technique in the other work, reflecting Brahms's engagement with classical forms while advancing Romantic harmonic and structural practices in his career.
