Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Concerto for piano, violin & orchestra in G major, Op. 17, was composed in 1805 and premiered in Vienna the same year. The concerto consists of three movements: Allegro con brio, Andante con moto, and Rondo: Allegro moderato. The concerto opens with a lively and energetic Allegro con brio, featuring a virtuosic piano and violin solo. The movement is characterized by its bright and cheerful melodies, with the orchestra providing a lively accompaniment. The second movement, Andante con moto, is a beautiful and lyrical adagio, featuring a tender and expressive melody played by the violin and piano. The orchestra provides a delicate and subtle accompaniment, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The final movement, Rondo: Allegro moderato, is a lively and playful piece, featuring a catchy and upbeat melody that is passed between the piano and violin. The orchestra provides a lively and energetic accompaniment, creating a joyful and celebratory atmosphere. The concerto is known for its technical demands on both the piano and violin soloists, with both instruments being given equal prominence throughout the work. Hummel's use of the orchestra is also notable, with the ensemble providing a rich and varied accompaniment that complements the soloists without overpowering them. The concerto is a testament to Hummel's skill as a composer and his ability to create works that are both technically demanding and musically engaging.
