What is Piano concerto?
A '''piano concerto''' is a [[concerto]] written for [[piano]] and [[orchestra]]. ==Characteristics== ===Form=== A classical piano concerto is often in three movements. #A quick opening movement in [[sonata form]] including a [[cadenza]] (which may be [[improvisation|improvised]] by the soloist). #A slow, free expressive movement #A faster [[rondo]] Examples by [[Mozart]] and [[Beethoven]] follow this model, but there are many others which do not. Beethoven's fourth piano concerto includes a last-movement cadenza, and many composers have made innovations – for example [[Liszt]]'s single-movement concerti. == Other websites == *[http://piano-concertos.org/ Classical and Romantic Piano Concertos] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130615062604/http://piano-concertos.org/ |date=2013-06-15 }}, a list of Classical and Romantic piano concertos, and other music for piano and orchestra from the same period.
