1. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5	Notes: The Beethoven Piano Concertos: No. 1 in C major No. 2 in B flat major No. 3 in C minor No. 4 in G major No. 5 in E flat major "Emperor" Rondo: A piece in which the leading theme (e.g., A) is repeated, alternating with other themes (B, C) - in a pattern such as A-B-A-C-A-B-A. It is not known who coined the title "Emperor." Certainly not Beethoven. Unauthorized but popular and apt, the name stuck - unchallenged by the experts. The piano was Beethoven's favorite instrument, and in Vienna his reputation as a piano virtuoso preceded his fame as as composer. Thus it is no surprise that he composed many wonderful works for the piano (See Beethoven's compositions.) OOOPS! A less than perfect score? Then try again! Go to: Quiz # 2: The Symphonies
