Completeness

[edit]

I'd like to see a bit more about where the piece stands in the romantic repetoir, and how it rates in musicology--I seem to recall that it is not too highly rated, although I enjoy it a lot. Thx  uriel8  (talk) 04:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about repertoire (debatable in any case) but it was argued many years ago by Tovey that the composition of this piece was a very important undertaking for Beethoven because it is the first of his concertos to show that he had understood Mozart's first movement concerto sonata form, a model he then followed in his remaining two piano concertos and the Violin concerto, thus establishing a pattern of the classical concerto eventually taken up again by Brahms. No-one has really argued since that Tovey was wrongDelahays (talk) 12:07, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
