Frédéric Chopin's Allegro de concert (the original composition), Op. 46, is scored for solo piano, published in November 1841. The themes on this one movement piece are bold and expressive. It has a curious place in the Chopin canon, and while its history is obscure, the evidence supports the view, shared by Robert Schumann and others, that it started out as the first movement of a projected third piano concerto, of which the orchestral parts are either now non-existent or were never scored at all.
Jean Louis Nicodé produced two versions-one for two pianos, and a later one for piano and orchestra presented here-in those he added various parts of his own creation, amounting to 70 bars of new music (a development section after bar 205, a third tutti, etc.). He also "beefs up" the piano part towards the end.

If Chopin finished this entire piece including 2nd and 3rd movement, all with orchestra, this definitely would be a magnificent concert!!!

Actually this has to be piano concerto 3 of chopin, but for some reason, he reworked as a solo piano concert piece

@mateuszkozieja7537 6 күн бұрын

He did that because he abandoned work on the project, Chopin's dream was to play this concerto in free Warsaw that didn't really happen and so he decided not to continue working on it

this was definitely going to be a concerto----sadly he only finished the first movement---but what a great piece! Some of Chopins best and most virtuosic piano writing.

One day a friend of mine recommended me to listen to Chopin's Op. 46, and I already knew that this was supposed to be the first movement of his third concerto. I was wondering, "Is there any orchestration of it?" Then I found this work, and I'm now addicted to the marvelous orchestration by Nicodé. I'm going to make a solo piano arrangement of this some day.

Lo, behold my amazing discovery for today. Nicodé's reimagining puts a piece that I didn't initially think much of - into a fresh new perspective. This is a great piece of evidence that you don't need to be a genius composer in order to make a memorable contribution to the western music canon. Even his own additions work in an odd, charming sort of way - like the passage resembling the texture of the Op. 10 No. 12 at 9:27. My only criticism would be Setrak Yavruyan's cluttery playing, he really doesn't do the dazzling concertante stuff justice, some parts just drag as a result of it. I don't blame him that much though, this is some of the hardest things Chopin wrote as far as I can tell. More than 10 minutes of continuous double-stops, demanding scales, spread out arpeggios, crazy jumps and rhythmical quirks.

@@GwennySweety If there is a separate terminology exclusively for the piano, you got me - I couldn't find it on the internet. Dohnányi's essential finger exercises for piano also refers to the phenomenon of playing a passage with one hand that has two simultaneous pitches in a succession as a double stop.

This reminds me of the music of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Chopin’s predecessor. As Chopin aged he began to concern himself more with musical form and integration of the solo part with the orchestra - in part I think because he was criticized for “writing piano solos with orchestral accompaniment” rather than real concertos. This piece shows his growth in that direction, revealing an emerging classicism and maturity of feeling. I don’t know if I expressed my thoughts very well, but man, this is a long way from the profusion of secondary dominants and endless configurations of the diminished 7th in A-B-A forms that we are used to hearing from Chopin!

the parts of the original work are really nice and sound a lot like Chopin’s accompaniment with the orchestration. but when Nicode adds his own type of variation on the theme I feel like it sounds more like Liszt than Chopin especially the orchestration. As well as the Coda
