Piano Concerto No. 1 (Mendelssohn)
Mendelssohn'sPiano Concerto No. 1inG minor,Op.25, was written in 1830–31, around the same time as hisfourth symphony("Italian"), and premiered inMunichin October 1831. This concerto was composed in Rome during a travel in Italy after the composer met a pianist in Munich. Mendelssohn attended one party after another in Munich in October 1831, the month of the premiere, but he also playedchamber musicand taughtdouble counterpoint. He performed the piece himself at the premiere, which also included performances of hisSymphony No. 1and the Overture fromMidsummer Night's Dream.[1]He had already written a piano concerto in A minor with string accompaniment (1822) and two concertos with two pianos (1823–24).
Structure
The three connected movements use several relatively new formal techniques in their brief span — for example, the piano enters very soon after the opening of the first movement, with little of an orchestraltuttito contrast with.[2]The concerto quickly obtained popularity, and contains many sections of improvisation, one of Mendelssohn's specialities; it is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.

Piano Concerto No. 2 (Mendelssohn)
ThePiano Concerto No. 2inD minor,Op.40, was written in 1837 byFelix Mendelssohnand premiered at theBirmingham Festivalthat year, an event that also saw the premier of Mendelssohn's oratorioSt. Paul. He had already written a piano concerto in A minor with string accompaniment (1822), two concertos with two pianos (1823–4), and hisfirst Piano Concerto. The concerto is about 25 minutes in length, and is scored for solopiano, 2flutes, 2oboes, 2clarinets, 2bassoons, 2horns, 2trumpets,timpani, andstrings.
History
Unusually for Mendelssohn, who often produced his compositions quickly, the Second Piano Concerto took him a great deal of effort.[1]Its genesis dates to the period shortly after his marriage and is first mentioned in a letter to his friendKarl Klingemann[de]while on honeymoon: "aber ein Konzert machte ich mir so gern für England, und kann immer noch nicht dazu kommen. Ich möchte wissen, warum mir das so schwer wird." [but I would like to write a concert for England, and I can't manage it. I want to know why this is so difficult for me."][2]Mendelssohn's difficulties probably stemmed from a desire to excel in the new work, written expressly for the Birmingham Music Festival, and thereby impress English audiences. The arduousness of the task is attested to by the fact that more autograph sources for the concerto exist than for any other composition he wrote for piano and orchestra.[3]Work on the piece lasted from April through to early September 1837, although his progress was significant enough that he felt confident enough to mention the work to his publisher,Breitkopf & Härtelin early August, having shortly before completed an autograph copy of both the piano part and orchestral score. However, it was not until six weeks after the Birmingham premiere and a second performance at theGewandhausin Leipzig, in early November, that Mendelssohn began actively to negotiate publication. He continued to work on the score through that month, delivering a final score to his publishers on December 12.[4]The publisher sent Mendelssohn the proofs of the score on 11 May 1838, which the composer promised to return a copied version of shortly thereafter. The work was published later that summer, although Mendelssohn was unhappy with the result, complaining, among other matters, that the title page was in French rather than German.[5]
