Overture: The Magic Flute Mozart Piano Concerto No. 1, in D minor...Brahms
From the Royal Albert Hall , London

'It is in reality', says Kalbeck, ' his first symphony and was also conceived as such. Merely disguised as a sonata for two pianos, it ultimately emerged as a piano concerto, but the latter took the form of a symphony with piano obbligato and, in this form, ushered in a new type of concerto.'
