Chopin was admired by Liszt for his individuality and revolutionary daring, and Schumann was wildly enthusiastic about the F minor Concerto, one of Chopin's earliest works. Despite the concerto's youthful origins this is a novel and brilliant piece, its melodic elegance, harmonic richness and magical Larghetto being a match for most of his later compositions. Chopin's other pieces for piano & orchestra were composed to launch his career as a virtuoso.
