- From the word early, I think this is probably #1. The second was
- composed in the late 50's after Stalin died. #2 is a wonderful piece of
- music. And, oddly, the first time I heard (and only time I've seen)
- it performed was during a ballet performance. I really love his
- second concerto for piano. But, I can't decide on an overall
- favorite. I'll pick a few others I always love to hear:
-
- Mozart #24,
- Tchaikovski #1,
- Gershwin, Concerto in F,
- Ravel, Concerto in Gm,
- Bartok, Concerto #2,
- Grieg, Concerto,
- Schumann, Concerto.
-
- And, I must cast my vote for Beethoven's #4 as my favorite from Ludwig.
