Johann Nepomuk Hummel composed the Rondo for piano in E flat major, Op. 11 Favori in 1803. The piece was premiered in Vienna in the same year. The Rondo is a single movement work that is characterized by its lively and playful nature. The Rondo begins with a bright and cheerful melody played by the right hand. The left hand provides a steady accompaniment with a series of chords. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, and the left hand continues to provide a supportive accompaniment. The middle section of the Rondo features a more subdued melody played by the left hand. The right hand provides a delicate accompaniment with a series of arpeggios. The melody gradually builds in intensity, and the right hand takes over with a series of virtuosic runs and trills. The final section of the Rondo returns to the original melody, but with added embellishments and variations. The left hand provides a more complex accompaniment, with a series of rapid arpeggios and chord progressions. The piece ends with a flourish, as the right hand plays a series of rapid runs and trills. The Rondo for piano in E flat major, Op. 11 Favori is a prime example of Hummel's skill as a composer and pianist. The piece is characterized by its lively and playful nature, and its virtuosic runs and trills showcase Hummel's technical prowess on the piano. The Rondo remains a popular piece in the piano repertoire, and is frequently performed in concert halls around the world.
