Description
Originally written in 1879-1880, Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) dedicated his CONCERTO FOR PIANO No. 2 in G major, Op. 44 to pianist Nikolai Rubinstein. Rubinstein insisted on performing as the soloist on the first performance. However, he passed away a few months prior to the scheduled premiere on November 12, 1881. The premiere was instead performed by Madeline Schiller with Theodore Thomas conducting the New York Philharmonic. This concerto is unique in the fact that the second movement is for solo piano trio and orchestra. A student of Tchaikovsky's, Alexander Siloti, suggested several edits to the original concerto, though Tchaikovsky resisted most ideas. Over time Tchaikovsky agreed to some changes, and Siloti published this revised and shortened edition in 1897. The Siloti version was the standard version for many years. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): Solo Vn.Vc.Pno in set.
