Hummel Piano Concerto 3 in b minor op. 89 1/4

Howard Shelley
London Mozart Players

Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Piano Concerto No. 3 Op. 89 in B minor was composed in Vienna in 1819 and published in Leipzig in 1821. Unlike his earlier piano concerti, which closely followed the model of Mozart's, the B minor concerto along with the slightly earlier Concerto no. 2 is written in a proto-Romantic style that anticipates the later the stylistic developments of composers such as Frédéric Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn.

The piano concerto was written by Hummel as a showcase for his virtuosity at the instrument. It was written while the composer was in Vienna in 1819 and is scored for piano, Flute, two oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings.

The work is composed in traditional three movement form. * I. Allegro moderato * II. Larghetto * III. Finale: Vivace

Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a great composer, he has excellent works, unfortunately he was a little forgotten behind all the other composer in this time.

@FilmComposeRaHoppe Yes, I couldn't agree more. Listening to classical music allows one to use the imagination, whether it's a walk through the woods or passing through a fjord. The rewards increase when one unearths a forgotten composer such as Ries, Hummel or Czerny, to name a few.

M'encanta aquest concert, és brillantíssim. La presentació és excelsa i l'entrada del piano és absolutament deliciosa. Tota la peça traspua força i energia sàviament combinada amb seny i bon gust. Romàntic nocturn.

@FilmComposeRaHoppe i think the more we get into classical music, the more we find out we dont know about it. im just starting and its like there are so many composers, its hard to keep track. its also sad that so many of them fall into oblivion or their oeuvre is lost...

Hummel é um compositor por muitas vezes desconsiderado ou esquecido, mas, tem uma habilidade muito profunda que muitos não dão valor. Hummel pode ser considerado sem pestanejar um dos melhores compositores da história da música erudita.

Mas, não posso esquecer de mencionar que quem executou é excepcional!!
