Beethoven Concert
Overture: Leonora, No. 1
7.43 app. Piano Concerto No. 4. in G
8.19 app. Symphony No. 7, in A
From the Royal Albert Hall, London
Beethoven completed his Fourth Piano Concerto in 1806, the year which also saw the production of the Violin Concerto and the Fourth Symphony. It is the soloist who begins the Piano Concerto by quietly announcing the chief theme, though (at the sixth bar) the orchestra continues it and provides an extended exposition before the piano is heard again. On this theme, with its gently persistent rhythm, most of the movement is based, including the highly elaborate passage-work given to the soloist. The Andante consists of a remarkable dialogue in which the piano pleads its cause against the stern-voiced strings, who are all of one mind among themselves. But sweetness and light win the day, and the final Rondo steals in with a gaily rhythmical theme, thus confirming the general character of the work, which is that of poetic charm and lyrical fluency.
