S. Rachmaninoff – Piano Concerto No. 2 op. 18
- Composed in 1900 / 1901.
- Dedicated to the doctor N. Dahl out of gratitude for helping Rachmaninoff out of his depression and a long creative crisis.
- Performed by Rachmaninoff himself 80 times only in the U.S.
- Best-known passage: beginning of 1st movement, powerful chords in the piano followed be the elegiac Russian melody in the strings.
- Fun fact: main theme from the slow movement has been used by Eric Carmen for his pop song "All by myself" in 1975. The work had not yet entered public domain everywhere at that time, so Carmen had to share his royalties with the Rachmaninoff heirs.

J. S. Bach – Harpsichord Concerto no. 1 d minor BWV 1052
- Bach's most famous harpsichord concerto and one of his most popular works.
- With his concertos for keyboard instruments, Bach established one of the main genres of classical music.
- Best-known passage: The sombre unison opening of the solo instrument and orchestra, which also concludes the first movement, is particularly characteristic.
- F. Mendelssohn performed the concerto several times, e.g. in 1843 for the inauguration of the Bach memorial at St Thomas's School in Leipzig. R. Schumann was present on this occasion, wrote about the performance and raised the idea of a complete Bach edition in his review.

C. M. v. Weber – Concert Piece f minor op. 79 for Piano and Orchestra
- Carl Maria von Weber’s (1786–1826) opus 79, known as the Konzertstück (Concert Piece), is essentially his third piano concerto.
- In contrast to other piano concertos, the "Konzertstück" is notated in a free form: a sequence of emotional states.
- Weber had planned from the start to compose the work in a minor key, but at the same time was concerned that this would not be well received by the audience.
- He therefore assumed a programmatic content, a dramatic love story in a crusader milieu, which should motivate the music. At the same time, however, he shied away from making such a programme public, as he feared that it would come across as too simple and unambiguous.
- Best-known passage: The opening motif of the slow first section and the jubilant music in the finale, mm. 329 ff, a very typical Weber tone.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Piano Concerto no. 23 A major K. 488
- Composed in 1784/1786.
- Written by Mozart for his own subscription concerts in Vienna and premiered by him, therefore often brilliantly virtuosic in the outer movements.
- The concerto is one of his later Viennese piano concertos, in which Mozart brings the genre to perfection, and one of the very few orchestral works (i.e. concertos and symphonies) in which Mozart uses clarinets instead of oboes.
- Special feature of our edition: Our edition is based solely on Mozart's autograph score, of which G. Henle Verlag has also published the facsimile (HN 3216)
- Well-known performer: In the 19th century, the composer and pianist Carl Reinecke (1824-1910) was very much in favour of reviving Mozart's piano concertos in the concert hall. He created an arrangement for solo piano of the slow movement of the A major Concerto K. 488 in order to make it better known to the general public.
- Best-known passage: Presumably the slow middle movement, a dreamy-romantic Adagio in the key of F sharp minor, which is quite unusual for Mozart.
