Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58, was composed in 1805-1806. Beethoven was the soloist in the public premiere as part of the concert on 22 December 1808 at Vienna's Theater an der Wien.
It was premiered in March 1807 at a private concert of the home of Prince Franz Joseph von Lobkowitz. The Coriolan Overture and the Fourth Symphony were premiered in that same concert. However, the public premiere was not until a concert on 22 December 1808 at Vienna's Theater an der Wien. Beethoven again took the stage as soloist. The marathon concert saw Beethoven's last appearance as a soloist with orchestra, as well as the premieres of the Choral Fantasy and the Fifth and Sixth symphonies. Beethoven dedicated the concerto to his friend, student, and patron, the Archduke Rudolph.
A review in the May 1809 edition of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung states that "[this concerto] is the most admirable, singular, artistic and complex Beethoven concerto ever". However, after its first performance, the piece was neglected until 1836, when it was revived by Felix Mendelssohn. Today, the work is widely performed and recorded, and is considered to be one of the central works of the piano concerto literature.

One of the best piano concertos by Beethoven... along with No. 2. 👏🏻

Zimermann was born to play Beethoven on the piano. Bernstein was born to conduct Beethoven. Both of them are elegance, tragedy, introspection and sheer power.

Probably one of the best performances ever delivered of one of the best piano concertos ever composed. Thank you so much for the upload!!! I enjoyed every second of it

Really happy for a score video with my favorite recording. Zimerman's perfectionism fits this piece so well, his Beethoven and Brahms piano concertos are just legendary.

The 1:20 G major is so disturbingly incomplete, oh boy Beethoven what have you done

Great. But Bernstein/Gould is magic
