Beethoven, Ludwig van: Piano Concerto no. 3 in c minor op. 37

Ludwig van Beethoven composed his five large piano concertos over a period of twenty-five years. When the composer sold his first two piano concertos in late 1800, he mentioned that he had even better ones which for the time being he was keeping for himself until he went on tour. He probably meant a concert tour with the just finished Third Piano Concerto in c minor, which is presented here in a piano reduction. The edition, of our customary Urtext quality, is arranged for practical use and based on the Beethoven Complete Edition, for which Beethovens autograph served as the source. The detailed editors preface by Beethoven scholar Hans-Werner Kthen concludes with valuable information about the edition.
