The Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11, is a piano concerto written by Frédéric Chopin in 1830, when he was twenty years old. It was first performed on 11 October of that year, at the Teatr Narodowy (the National Theatre) in Warsaw, Poland, with the composer as soloist, during one of his "farewell" concerts before leaving Poland.
It was the first of Chopin's two piano concertos to be published, and was therefore given the designation of Piano Concerto "No. 1" at the time of publication, even though it was actually written immediately after the premiere of what was later published as Piano Concerto No. 2.
The concerto is scored for solo piano, pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, tenor trombone, timpani and strings.
The concerto comprises three movements, typical of instrumental concertos of the period:
I. Allegro maestoso (E minor)
II. Romanze – Larghetto (E major)
III. Rondo – Vivace (E major)
The piece of this video, "Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11 (3º Mov., Rondo – Vivace)", is the third movement of the Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor.
Performers:
- Dang Thai Son (Piano)
- Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century
- Frans Brüggen (Conductor)
