Triple Concerto of Beethoven

The Triple concerto in major C , opus 56, of Ludwig van Beethoven, is a Concerto for Piano, Violon, Violoncelle and orchestra.

Composed between 1803 and 1804, it is contemporary “Heroic” Symphonie and it is dedicated to the prince Joseph Franz von Lobkowitz, music lover and patron, to whom Beethoven also dedicated his Troisième , Cinquième and Sixième symphonies. The partition was published on August 26th 1804, with that of its third symphony. Creation took place with Leipzig in February 1808, after some revisions, then with Vienna in May of the same year.

Its form is single in the musical field, even if one can bring it closer to the double concerto for violin, violoncello and orchestra of Johannes Brahms, very largely posterior. It acts can be of a reminiscence of the Concerto grosso where a desk is particularly proposed, or of the Concertino where the Orchestre dialog with various soloists.

Work comprises three movements and its execution lasts a little more than thirty minutes.

  1. Allegro
  2. Largo
  3. Rondo went polacca
