Frederic
Chopin's Piano Concertos
in e minor op. 11 and f
minor op. 21 were written
when the composer had
just barely entered his
twenties. Since he needed
effective, virtuoso works
for his major concert
appearances with
orchestral accompaniment,
he decided to simply
write them himself.
Although it is clear that
the piano part always
holds center stage in
these pieces, Chopin
never degrades the
orchestra by turning it
into a stereotypical
cue-giver. This is
confirmed by the
imaginatively
orchestrated tutti
transition in the first
movement, the lengthy
string tremolo in the
middle movement and the
col legno passage in the
finale. The first
performance of the
f-minor concerto took
place in Warsaw on 17
March 1830. The first
edition of the score was
published in 1879 by
Breitkopf & Hartel in
Leipzig. The present
edition for two pianos by
Ignaz Friedmann was first
issued in 1913 in the
framework of the
12-volume Chopin edition
for which the Polish
pianist undertook a
careful evaluation of the
sources.
