Piano Concerto No. 1 (Shostakovich)
- Piano Concerto No. 1 (Shostakovich)
The Concerto in C minor for Piano, Trumpet, and String Orchestra, Op. 35, was completed by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1933 and premiered the same year by the composer at the piano and the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. Despite the title, it is a true piano concerto rather than a double concerto in which the trumpet and piano command equal prominence. The trumpet parts frequently take the form of sardonic interjections, leavening the humor and wit of the piano passage work.
The concerto comprises either three or four movements, depending on the interpretation:
#"Allegretto"
#"Lento"
#"Moderato"
#"Allegro con brio"
The "Moderato" is sometimes seen as an introductory passage to the "Allegro con brio" rather than as a separate movement. However, it is usually considered to be the third of four movements, as the moods of the two are very different. Some recordings feature only three movements, with the last marked as "Moderato – Allegro con brio".
