anonymous · June 2021

I need a list of very nice piano concertos(with movements please) because some have like the 1st part nice, the 2nd not...

I don't want sleepy ones.

I like a lot the g minor of bach.

Please suggest as many concertos as possible as long as they are nice and vivid,

The one the highest number of nice suggestions gets the best!

Well if you want all of them (or close to) just go to:

http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/List_of_compositions_f...

But here are my favourites, generally without 2nd movements so you won't fall asleep:

Hummel: Piano Concerto in Bminor Op.89 Mov I (rarely played)

Mozart: Piano Concerto No.20 Dminor Mov I

Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5 in Eflat major Mov I

Schumann: Piano Concerto in Aminor Mov I and II

Grieg: Piano Concerto in Aminor Mov I

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1 in Bb minor Mov I and III

Lizst: Piano Concerto No.1 in Eb major Mov I, II, III and IV

Poulenc: Piano Concerto Mov I and III (also rarely played)

Kabalevsky: Piano Concerto No.3 in D major Mov I, II and III (a gem that no one seems to know about)

Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.3 in C major Mov I and III

Ravel: Piano Concerto in G major Mov I

Shostakovich: Piano Concerto No.2 Mov I and III

I left out Rachmaninov because you requested non-sleepy ones.....although Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 Mov II is one of the most beautiful movements ever, i don't know if its one of the pieces that you consider sleepy.

Shostakovich No.1 (for Piano Strings and solo trumpet)

Gershwin Piano Concerto in F

Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2

Prokofiev Piano Concerto No, 3

Elliot Carter Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano

Schoenberg Piano Concerto

Bartok any of the 3 will do

Scriabin Piano Concerto

I am not going to list individual movements as I believe a piece should be listened to in its entirety, to me just listening to individual movements feels like just reading a couple of chapters in a book and then moving on to another book

Tchaikovski's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor

Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major (Emperor)

Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no 3 (mvt I)

Prokofiev Piano Concerto no 3 (mvt 3)

Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no 2 (mvt I)

Rachmaninov no.2, 1st movement is great

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZRbko3UsnQ go to about 6:45

Then there's tchaikovsky 1, mvt 1 absolutely huge, but you don't need my help in finding that

I personally think Mozart 24 mvt 3 is one of the prettiest I've come across.

Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is not technically a concerto, but it's pretty much the same thing. Check this out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90MuPqYtV_k&feature... go to 4:14

Well, interesting. Most of the people here are famous psychologists. You can figure it out by the well substantiated science reports here above. The Mozart effect was discovered Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis, He received his MD at the Paris School of Medicine. He has received many awards for his research. Helped people with his APP (audio-psycho-phonology. Among them: Sting, Gerard Depardieu and Maria Callas. He treated people with reading disorders, dyslexia, depression, Schizophrenia and autism. Professor W. DuPlessis from North West University in South Africa has studied the results of Dr. Tomatis. There are many psychologists, institutes (including the largest scientific research center specialized in hearing disorders: The Institute Of Physiology And Pathology Of Hearing In Warsaw, part of the ministry of health in Poland) who are working with the method. Well, what do you mean with pseudo-science? In favour of the method I would say that maybe the Mozart effect is still in research. Fact is that a lot of people are gaining benefits of the method. You know, up until know only sceptic people think the effect is a myth, pseudo-science and nonsense. Flying was up until 1783 nonsense, pseudo science and a myth. In 1783 the first manned air-balloon flew into the air. Ah, people were flying. No nonsense, no pseudo science and a myth anymore. Funny how it works, isn't it?
