Browse: Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 19
Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)Composed: 1787–95First performed: 29th March 1795, Burgtheater, ViennaArtists in first performance: Ludwig van Beethoven, marking it as his public debut
The Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 19, by Ludwig van Beethoven was composed primarily between 1787 and 1789, although it did not attain the form in which it was published until 1795. Beethoven did write a second finale for it in 1798 for performance in Prague, but that is not the finale that was published. It was used by the composer as a vehicle for his own performances as a young virtuoso, initially intended with the Bonn Hofkapelle. It was published in December 1801 as Op. 19, later than the publication in March that year of his later composition the Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major as Op. 15, and thus became designated as his second piano concerto.
