Concerto No. 8



I composed this Concerto in 1798, though it wasn't premiered until March 16, 1820. I actually had stopped performing years earlier in 1814, but came back to conduct Concerto No. 8. This piece was recognized for the big choral finale. It was one of the first piano Concertos ever written with a part for the choir.
