Concerto for Piano No. 2 in A, S. 125: Full Orchestra, Solo Keyboard with Ensemble, SS

Franz Liszt (1811-1886) started work on his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 in A major, S. 125, in 1839 and 1840. Putting it through a series of revisions, he dedicated the concerto to his student Hans von Bronsart von Schellendorf. The composer conducted the first performance in Weimar on January 7, 1857 with Bronsart as soloist. Liszt completed a 4th revision in 1861. Less virtuosic than his first piano concerto, it is played without break and serves as a masterful example of thematic transformation. Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2.2.2: 2.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(1-2): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano. Reprint edition. Study score.
