- Hummel, Johann Nepomuk
Duration: 33 minutes
Description: Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) wrote his CONCERTO FOR PIANO No. 3 in B minor, OP. 89 in 1819. Similar to his second piano concerto, it is composed in a proto-Romantic style that anticipated later composers such as Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, and Liszt. And this work was a favorite of a young Franz Liszt to perform, though critics complained about the speed with which he took the Rondo finale. Instrumentation: 1.2.2.2: 4.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): Solo Piano: CS (Pno-Cond Sc; NO FULL SCORE) in set. In the absence of four horns, alternate Bassoon parts are included to be used in place of Horns 2 and 3. The solo piano part is printed in a 12×9 landscape format to improve readability. The piano-conductor score is the same engraving as the solo piano in a 9×12 portrait format. To improve readability, an 11×14 oversized score is also available from the publisher, or an additional copy of the landscape solo piano part may be ordered for the conductor to use. Reprint edition. 11×14 oversized piano-conductor score.
