The Evening Concert

The 1st Piano Concerto dates from the late 1790s and is music from the end of Beethoven's "Early Period" of compositions. The 3rd Symphony comes from the first decade of the 1800s and is a work that marks the beginning of his Middle Period.

The Symphony No. 1 was premiered under Bruckner in 1868. It was dedicated to the University of Vienna, after Bruckner was granted an honorary doctorate in 1891.*
