“The Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73”, by Ludwig van Beethoven, popularly known as the “Emperor Concerto”, was his last piano concerto. It was written between 1809 and 1811 in Vienna, and was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf, Beethovens patron and pupil. The first performance took place on 28 November 1811 at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, the soloist being Friedrich Schneider. In 1812, Carl Czerny, another student of Beethovens, gave the Vienna debut of this work. The epithet of Emperor for this concerto was not Beethovens own but was coined by Johann Baptist Cramer, the English publisher of the concerto. Its duration is approximately forty minutes. https://youtube/watch?v=0WiCPdpJaDI
