It was completed in 1881. Often referred to simply as Brahms' 2nd Piano Concerto, the work consists of four movements, which is unusual for a concerto of this time, as most concertos only have three movements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The four movements are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">1st Allegro non troppo<br \/>\n2nd Allegro appassionato<br \/>\n3rd Andante<br \/>\n4th Allegretto grazioso<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Brahms began work on this concerto several years after his first piano concerto. Brahms' Second Piano Concerto is known for its technical demands on the soloist and its rich orchestral sound. The work was received with great enthusiasm by the audience at its premiere on 9 November 1881 in Budapest (with Brahms himself at the piano and Alexander Erkel conducting).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It is rightly regarded as one of the most important piano concertos of Romantic music.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3575\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3575\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3575 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1-1024x645.jpg\" alt=\"The Leipzig Symphony Orchestra and Ekaterine Khvedelidze at a Scriabin concert in Leipzig in November 2022\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" title=\"Ekaterine Khvedelidze\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1-400x252.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1-1536x967.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Ekaterine-Khvedelidze-Leipzig-November-2022-Kopie-1.jpg 1588w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Leipzig Symphony Orchestra and Ekaterine Khvedelidze at a Scriabin concert in Leipzig in November 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To the overview of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/en\/konzerte\/\">Piano Concertos Ekaterine Khvedelidze<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>ROBBERT VAN STEIJN<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3716\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3716 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Robbert-van-Steijn-Photo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Robbert van Steijn\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"Ekaterine Khvedelidze\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Robbert-van-Steijn-Photo-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ekaterine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Robbert-van-Steijn-Photo-11x12.jpg 11w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robbert van Steijn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Robbert van Steijn stands for diversity and versatility.
