Contents: Schulhoff's cadenzas for the first movements of Beethoven's Piano Concertos Nos. 1-4, and for the third movement of Concerto No. 4. With a preface in German, English and French. Schulhoff composed these cadenzas in 1923 while in Berlin.

"Brahms was a famously complex character: an irascible curmudgeon, and a famously learned composer who took tremendous pride in composing tuneful, expressive melodies of great popular appeal. This accounts at least in part for the enduring esteem that his symphonies enjoy among musicians, scholars, and the listening public alike. This duality between the learned and the popular sides of Brahms' musical personality has made his music as difficult to analyze and discuss as was his singularly complex and mysterious personal life. This book attempts to aid the general listener in bridging the gap between these two seemingly irreconcilable aspects of Brahms' character, aspects that are particularly in evidence, and balanced with particular poise, in his four symphonies. First, author David Hurwitz examines Brahms' place in the German symphonic tradition, his obsessive preoccupation with his place in the grand line of classical composers stretching back to Bach, and proceeding through Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schumann. Despite his ongoing struggle to master orchestral writing, Hurwitz argues that Brahms did achieve a unique symphonic style, one found nowhere else in his (or anyone else's) works in symphonic form. Finally, each symphony is described from two perspectives: in the most helpful musical context, and then also in movement by movement descriptions of Brahms' expressive argument. Finally, a list of recommended recordings concludes a discussion that shows today's music lovers that the riches contained in these perennially attractive works do not hide beneath the surface, but in fact lie liberally scattered in plain view, just waiting to be savored." --Back cover.

This collection of cadenzas from Beethoven's concertos for piano and orchestra includes three from Concerto No. 1, one from Concerto No. 2, one from Concerto No. 3, and three from Concerto No. 4, as well as several others taken from the Violin Concerto and from Mozart's Concerto in D Major.

A History of the Concerto may be read from cover to cover, but readers may also use the extensive index to focus on specific concertos and their composers. Numerous musical examples illuminate critical points. While some readers may want to study the more detailed analyses with scores in hand, this is not essential for an understanding of the text.
