1803 Portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven by Christian Hornemann
Beethoven’s first two piano concertos are numbered by the order they were published, not composed. Therefore, what we call his Piano Concerto No. 2 was actually composed first, and his Piano Concerto No. 1 was composed second. The first-composed (“No. 2”) is a more youthful composition for a minimal orchestra. The second-composed (“No. 1”) is a more mature work and utilizes a full orchestra. A 1995 live recording of, then, 12 year old pianist Helen Huang performing Beethoven’s larger-scale “Piano Concerto No. 1” is today's Midday Masterpiece.
