It's good music but sounds too much like the Viennese masters - nothing particularly romantic or original. Wagner has become a household name by that time.
Agreed. The gesture in the winds right in the first few measures is basically identical to the one in measure 9 of Dussek's Military Concerto Op. 40, published essentially fifty years earlier in 1798, and this sets the tone for what decade this concerto feels like it's from. It is well-crafted, but there are many moments where I can't help but feel like I'm listening to an early Dussek concerto.
@@jakrol Not everything needs to be the first, or one of the first, of its time...I enjoy this piece very much and am working on a piano reduction of it as I write.
An very pleasant concerto that I enjoy without need for comparison or critique. Thanks for sharing.
She was such a gifted composer

Closer to Mozart, yes. That is no small feat. And the music is recorded and discussed 100+ years later. Again, no small feat.
