A Tribute to Beethoven : Aloys Schmitt - Piano Concerto No.6 Op.76 [FULL WORK]

Movements: 0:00 1. Allegro con brio 13:20 2. Andante con moto 18:48 3. Allegro vivo Aloys Schmitt b. 26 August 1788, Erlenbach am Main, Germany – d. 25 July 1866, Frankfurt, Germany Most of what we know about Aloys Schmitt has been distilled from an 1873 biography in German written by Heinrich Hentel – which is the source of the portrait in this video. A virtuosic keyboardist,Schmitt trained on keyboard and violin under composer, publisher, and Mozart expert John Anton André in Offenbach (1775-1842), and with Frankfurt composer J. G. Vollweiller in Frankfurt. Schmitt attained fame as a highly esteemed teacher, had students amongst the royal family in Berlin and also tutored Ferdinand Hiller. Schmitt’s compositional output comprises primarily piano works including studies, a method, and many pieces including sonatinas, rondos, and rhapsodies. In addition, he composed four operas, two oratorios, church music, and four piano concertos. Schmitt’s editorial completion of Mozart’s Mass in C minor has been posthumously discredited as stylistically inconsistent. The Fleisher Collection purchased the set of parts for the first piano concerto, op. 76 – dedicated to a now obscure Frankfurt resident, Philipp Passavant – from a music antiquarian Ganley in the early 1960s. A Fleisher copyist constructed a complete conductor’s score from these parts with the intent of producing a full performance set, but the project inexplicably folded, and the work soon disappeared into the archives. The printed parts and score were rediscovered in 1996 and catalogued in the Collection. If anyone who like to perform this work, please contact curator of Fleisher, Gary Galvan, for the full score and also parts. Link as below. https://catalog.freelibrary.org/Recor...
