Laura Netzel's Piano Concerto, Op. 84 (incomplete) was composed in the late 19th century, although the exact date of composition is unknown. The work was never completed, and only two movements were ever written. The concerto was premiered posthumously in 1927, more than 20 years after Netzel's death. The first movement of the concerto is marked Allegro moderato and begins with a bold, dramatic theme in the orchestra. The piano enters with a virtuosic solo passage, which is then developed and expanded upon throughout the movement. The music is characterized by lush harmonies and sweeping melodies, with occasional moments of tension and drama. The second movement, marked Andante, is more introspective and lyrical in nature. The piano opens with a gentle, flowing melody, which is then taken up by the orchestra. The music is marked by a sense of nostalgia and longing, with moments of melancholy and introspection. Despite its incomplete state, Netzel's Piano Concerto, Op. 84 is a significant work in the history of Finnish classical music. The concerto showcases Netzel's skill as a composer, particularly in her ability to write for the piano. The work is characterized by its lush harmonies, sweeping melodies, and virtuosic piano writing, and is a testament to Netzel's talent and creativity as a composer.
