Piano Concerto No. 3 (Hummel)
- Piano Concerto No. 3 (Hummel)
Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Piano Concerto No. 3 Op. 89 in B minor was composed in Vienna in 1819 and published in Leipzig in 1821 [Mikio Tao, "Works Catalogue of Hummel", [http://www.geocities.com/mbfleur/Works_Catalog_of_Hummel.pdf] (pdf)] . Unlike his earlier piano concerti, which closely followed the model of Mozart's, the B minor concerto along with the slightly earlier Concerto no. 2 is written in a proto-Romantic style that anticipates the later the stylistic developments of composers such as Frédéric Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn.
