It has been awhile since the last 100 Concerto post. It is probably the least time-consuming of all the posts to make, in perspective to the Symphonic Friday and the upcoming Month on Mozart, it is probably the appetizer to the feast.

Anyway, the next installment is as such. Finally, for a guy who pretends he can play the saxophone moderately well, it's nice to see the phone on the list somewhere. The first Concerto for Cello also shows up.

The Next Five Continue the Countdown: 89-85

89. Liszt Piano Concerto No.1 in E flat Major
1. Allegro Maestoso


2. Quasi Adagio


3. Allegretto vivace - allegro animato


4.Allegro marziale animato

88. Korngold Violin Concerto in D Major, Op.35

I really thought this one would be higher on the list, but it is still a great work. The previous post on it is here.

The Concerto Countdown will be the only label kept going through May that's not related to Mozart. Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Rachmaninoff posts and every other composer are on hiatus until June as they make way for Mozart. I'm still not sure how it will go, but experimenting is good.

The Concertos keep getting better!
