Composed in 1784, when Beethoven was only 13 years old, Piano Concerto In E Flat Major is a fully developed three-movement work that displays much imagination, harmonic control and sense of form, as well as a striking level of virtuosity. The work has survived in a contemporary copy of the piano part, incorporating directions showing that the original orchestra consisted of two flutes, two horns and strings. For this recording Ronald Brautigam has made his own reconstruction of the orchestral score.
