Op. post. 1, one would expect to be an early work but it isn't- it was his last concerto, published after his death. In the first movement, after a lengthy orchestral introduction, the piano makes its dramatic entrance. The rather short (6:30) slow center movement includes an extended cadenza and the concerto ends with a brilliant Allegro con brio. It's difficult to understand why this concerto wasn't well received at its premiere in London in 1833.
