베토벤- Rondo for Piano and Orchestra in B-flat major (1793)

Beethoven

 

 

Rondo for piano and orchestra in B flat major - WoO 6

            

Ludwig van Beethoven's Rondo for piano and orchestra in B-flat major, WoO 6 was composed in

1793 and originally intended as the final movement for his second piano concerto.It was eventually published in 1829, with the solo part completed by Carl Czerny.

This work was first performed in 1793 and likely dates to that year or the previous one. It was originally designed to serve as the finale to the 1801 Piano Concerto No. 2, but was discarded and not published until 1829, two years after Beethoven's death. The composer thus suppressed the Rondo in B flat throughout his lifetime, but a performing version was fashioned by Carl Czerny because some of the solo part was apparently missing or left incomplete in the surviving manuscript
