title: Beethoven's Concertos: History, Style, Performance
author:  Leon Plantinga 
description: Analysis of Beethoven's concertos, at least in the hands of Leon Plantinga, yields insights into almost every aspect of the composer's work. Along with the standard concertos for <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IIX1/${0}">piano</a> and <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000006OPI/${0}">violin</a>, Plantinga covers the <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002RQP/${0}">violin romances</a> and the <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002S8G/${0}">Triple Concerto</a>, sketches for an aborted sixth piano concerto, and the early Rondo WoO 6. There are dozens of helpful musical examples grouped in a separate booklet.
