Piano Concerto No. 0 (Beethoven)

Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto in E flat major, WoO.

Only the solo piano part survives today, although there are some indications in the manuscript for orchestral cues.

Pianists Howard Shelley, Ronald Brautigam and Philippos Tsalachouris,[2] as well as the Swiss musicologist and composer Willy Hess, have each made their own reconstructions of the concerto.

The work is in three movements as follows: The fact that each performance has a different orchestration makes it difficult to describe the work accurately, but in general the concerto has the style of classical composers of the late 18th century such as Joseph Haydn, who would later come to tutor Beethoven.

The last movement has a jolly melody for the main theme, played very fast, again based on scales.
