Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in A-flat major (Mendelssohn)

TheConcerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in A-flat majorwas written byFelix Mendelssohnwhen he was 15 years old. and is dated 12 November 1824.[1]Written for two pianos and a full orchestra, the work received its first public performance in Berlin, in 1825. The composer and his mentorIgnaz Moscheles, who inspired its composition, were the soloists. He performed it again on 20 February 1827 atStettin, where the cathedral organist,composer,baritonesinger andconductorCarl Loeweorganised concerts. Loewe and Mendelssohn were the two piano soloists on that occasion.[2] This concerto and its predecessor, the E major concerto, may have been the first works composed for full orchestra by Mendelssohn. The concerto may have been inspired by the occasion when Mendelssohn metIgnaz MoschelesinBerlinin 1824, when Moscheles accepted an invitation to visitAbraham Mendelssohn Bartholdyto give some music lessons to his childrenFelixandFanny. The concerto was not played for many years until themanuscriptwas found in the archive of theBerlin State Libraryin 1950.[1] There are three movements: 1.Allegrovivace 2.Andante 3.Allegro vivace
