Anton Eberl's Concerto for 2 pianos & orchestra in B flat major, Op. 45 was composed in 1804. The concerto premiered in Vienna in the same year, with Eberl himself and his student, Josephine von Aurnhammer, as the soloists. The concerto is divided into three movements. The first movement, marked Allegro con brio, begins with a lively and energetic orchestral introduction, followed by the entrance of the two pianos. The soloists engage in a playful and virtuosic dialogue, showcasing their technical abilities. The second movement, marked Adagio, is a beautiful and lyrical duet between the two pianos, accompanied by the orchestra. The final movement, marked Rondo: Allegro, is a lively and joyful romp, with the soloists engaging in a spirited conversation with the orchestra. Eberl's Concerto for 2 pianos & orchestra in B flat major is characterized by its virtuosic piano writing, lively orchestration, and playful dialogue between the two soloists. The concerto is a testament to Eberl's skill as a composer and his ability to write music that is both technically challenging and musically engaging.
