L. Van Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37

Though a Classical-era work, this dramatic concerto bridges into the early Romantic style and is included for its focus on orchestral collaboration.

Guillermo Scarabino’s in-depth course analyzes all three movements, emphasizing the complex relationship between soloist and conductor. 

In this piano course around Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3, Maestro Scarabino analyses all the aspects of the musical and artistic relationship between the Conductor and the Soloist.

What really happens when you meet the conductor before your first orchestral rehearsal? That first conversation can shape the entire performance. The course explores that decisive moment through Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, revealing how soloist and conductor build a shared musical vision.

Each of the 16 Chapters is dedicated to a specific argument, starting from understanding Tempos. Then, through every kind of dynamics, accenting, and balancing of sound and orchestration, with a very precious dissertation about the motivations that drove Beethoven himself to write the manuscript as he did, and the kind of freedom that a conductor can have.
