About

Rediscovered and reconstructed after original sources by Hans-Werner Küthen.

The discovery of a hitherto unknown Chamber Version of the G major Piano Concerto has provided the solution of an old riddle. This version of Op.58 dates from the late spring of 1807, not long after the first performance of the work’s original version at an invitational concerto given in March at the Vienna palace of Beethoven’s patron Prince lobkowitz. Very likely at the behest of the prince, whose fondness for string quintets was reflected in his music collection, the full orchestral score was to be supplanted by a reduction to two violins, two violas and cello – making for a more modest and practicable performance in which he himself could eventually take one of the violin parts…’ (Taken from the liner notes by Hans-Werner Küthen)
