Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo Listen to more music by Beatrice Rana here: Though the appellation “Emperor“ was not given by the composer himself, this concerto was born during a time of military influence: the Napoleonic Wars. Beethoven began writing the work in 1808 and completed it in 1809 in Vienna, the same year that the city came under siege by Napoleon’s army. Due to the composer’s then-severely declining hearing, the concerto was premiered by soloist Friedrich Schneider, rather than by Beethoven himself, in 1811. Filmed in February 2022 at the Barbican Centre, London. __________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitter: ► YouTube: Listen to us on: ► Spotify: ► Apple Music: ► Deezer Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
