Piano Concerto No. 2 (Brahms)


 

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, op. 83 by Johannes Brahms, is separated by a gap of 22 years from his Piano Concerto No. 1. Brahms began work on it in 1878 and completed the piece in 1881 while in Pressbaum near Vienna. It is considered by many pianists and teachers alike to be one of the most extremely difficult of all works for the piano.
