Piano Concerto No. 5 (Beethoven) - Movements

Movements

The concerto is divided into three movements:

  1. Allegro in E-flat major
  2. Adagio un poco mosso in B major
  3. Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo in E-flat major

As with Beethoven's other concertos from this time period, this work has a relatively long first movement. (At twenty-five minutes, the Violin Concerto has the longest; Piano Concerto Nos. 4 and 5 each have opening movements of about twenty minutes.)
