Piano Concerto No. 3 (Beethoven)
Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto no. 3 in c minor, opus 37 was completed in 1803.
As is standard for concertos, it is in three movements:
About two and a half minutes pass in the first movement before the orchestral introduction is intruded upon by C minor scales forcefully announcing the piano's entrance. The coda is similarly dramatic, emanating from very quiet trills, moving faster, resulting in a regal yet dark climax.
