Concerto No.2 in B Flat Major for Piano & OrchestraThe Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Clemens KraussWilhelm Backhaus,piano.Original release======================= ========Piano Concerto No.2 continued:I. Allegro con brioThis movement is in the concerto variant of sonata form. The orchestra introduces the main theme and the subordinate theme in its exposition. The second exposition is in F major. The development wanders in key and ends on a long B-flat major scale. The recapitulation is similar to the exposition and is in B-flat major.There is a rather difficult cadenza composed by Beethoven himself, albeit much later than the concerto itself. Stylistically, the cadenza is very different from the concerto, but it makes good use of the first opening theme. Beethoven applies this melody to the cadenza in several different ways, changing its character each time and displaying the innumerable ways that a musical theme can be used and felt.Average performances last from thirteen to fourteen minutes.II. AdagioThis movement is in E-flat major, the subdominant key. Like many slow movements, it has ABA (ternary) form, where the opening section introduces the themes, and the middle section develops them.Average performances last from eight to nine minutes.III. Rondo—Molto allegroThis movement takes the form of a Third Rondo (ABACABA). Beethoven's playfulness of his early period can be heard here. There is a constant angular feel within the 6/8 melody itself that Beethoven plays on with each return of the rondo theme. The C section is also highly contrasting with the others, being that it is in a minor key and more forceful and stern in meaning.Average performances last from five to six minutes.References^ a b c Lockwood, Lewis (2005).

(ternary) form, Ternary form is a structuring mechanism of a piece of music. Along with several other musical forms, ternary form can also be applied to dance choreography. Ternary form is a three-part structure, often notated A-B-A. The first and third parts (A) are musically identical, or very nearly so, while the second part (B) contrasts sharply with it. The B section is often known as a trio.At least in pieces written before the 19th century, the first section of a piece in ternary form does not usually change key, but ends in the same key as it began. However, an example where this is not the case is in Mozart's Piano Concerto No.21 (K.467) 2nd Movement. In this second movement, the A section is in a different key to the third section. The middle section will generally be in a different key, often the dominant of the first section (a perfect fifth above). It usually also has a contrasting character; in a march, for example, the highly rhythmic and strident character of the march itself is usually contrasted with a more lyrical and flowing trio. Often the trio is in a 3/4 time signature as opposed to the 4/4 of the primary march theme.As well as marches, ternary form is often found in baroque opera arias (the da capo aria) and in many dance forms, such as polkas. It is also the form used in the minuet (or scherzo) and trio, which in the classical music era was usually the second movement of symphonies, string quartets, sonatas and similar works.A distinction is sometimes made between compound ternary form—in which each large part of the form is itself divided in a way to suggest ternary or binary form (giving, for example, an overall scheme of A-B-A-C-D-C-A-B-A)—and simple ternary form, in which each large part of the form has no particular structure itself. Da capo arias are usually in simple ternary form; minuets (or scherzos) and trios are normally compound. Another name for the latter is "composite ternary form."Commonly, the third section will feature more ornamentation than the first section (e.g. da capo arias). In these cases the last section is sometimes labeled A' ("A prime") to indicate that it is slightly different than the first A section. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... *Note:Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.
