Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn (then an independent electorate) probably on December 16, 1770 (he was baptized on the 17th), and died in Vienna on March 26, 1827. Beethoven composed the Fourth Piano Concerto, Opus 58, in 1805 and early 1806 (it was probably completed by spring, since his brother offered it to a publisher on March 27).
The work is scored for solo piano and an orchestra consisting of a flute, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. As is standard for classical concertos, it is in three movements: I. Allegro moderato (G major) II. Andante con moto (E minor) III. Rondo (Vivace) (G major) Premiere and reception.
