Piano Concerto No. 2 (Mendelssohn)

Piano Concerto No. 2 (Mendelssohn)

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 40, was written in 1837 by Felix Mendelssohn and premiered at the Birmingham Festival of 1837, an event that also saw the premier of Mendelssohn's St. Paul Oratorio. He had already written a piano concerto in A minor with string accompaniment (1822), two concertos with two pianos (1823 – 4), and his first Piano Concerto. There are three movements:
* I. Allegro appassionato
* II. Adagio. Molto sostenuto
* III. Finale. Presto scherzando
