Opis

Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto in G major, Op. 58 (composed in 1804-06) continues along the path of the 'symphonic concerto'. The composer avoided anything that might give the impression of virtuoso competition or contrasting conflicts between soloist and orchestra. Instead, Beethoven emphasised a lyrical, idyllic fusion of the two contrasting sound characters. The musical ideal here is not heroic gesture or struggle, but musical introversion.
