Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) — is one of the greatest geniuses in the history of classical music. He does not fall into any style, though formally by his musis features it can be attributed to Wien classicism. Beethoven wrote in total 5 Concertos for piano and orthestra and a considerable period of time passed between the first and the fifth resulting in every of them having its own style and its own personalty, one could say.

The 2nd Concerto op.19, was written by Beethoven in 1780–1790, the final edition was completed by 1798 and in 1801 it was published for the first time. It is attributed to the 1st Wien period of his life, when the first 2 symphonies, 20 piano sonatas, all violin sonatas except Kreutzer, and some of his quartets were written.

The Eugen D’Albert edition of the Concerto is popular until now. Eugen D’Albert (1864–1932) is a pupil of the great virtuoso Ferenz Liszt, he taught in Berlin Conservatoire and served as a court pianist of the Duke of Weimar.

Many great pianists of all times played this Concerto, such as Arthur Schnabel, Solomon Cutner. Arturo Benedetti-Michelangeli , Mauritio Pollini, Claudio Arrau, Glenn Could, Alfred Brendel and many, many others.

This edition is addressed to the students of Conservatoire, Colleges and senior music schools pupils.
