Václav Jan Tomášek - Piano Concerto No-2 in E-flat major, Op.20 (1805)

[@jansilar8737]

He was well-known in his times, such as Salieri. It is shame that people don't know Tomášek and know Salieri for fictional rivality with Mozart. These men deserve more fame for their awesome music...

[@artfuldodger4850]

I very much agree with your thoughts. I have recently found, by accident, a host of music by these contemporaries of Mozart and Haydn for a range of instruments including the English Horn. I do wish established Classical music stations would set aside a couple of hours each day to give this very rarely, if ever, music air time.

Václav Jan Křtitel Tomášek (17 April 1774, Skuteč, (Bohemia) - 3 April 1850, Prague) was a Czech composer, pianist and music teacher. He also played the violin and organ. His earlier compositions are in the style of classical period, but his later works are in the style of early romantic period. Tomášek was very important music teacher in Prague. His most important works are 6 piano sonatas, 2 piano concertos, choral works, quartets, small works for organ, few operas and symphonys…

He is one of the close associate with Beethoven.

Wonderfully played, with a lively, sparkling tone, quite appropriate for the constantly singing melodies. Goes for the other link with the Cto #1, too. Thank you!

10 min evoca el tema del concerto for piano # 22 de Mozart ( primer movimiento pareciera una variación)

[@XavFranz]

This composer is undeservedly unfamous and unknown! Very nice concerto).

[@canman5060]

Tomasek is Beethoven very close associate.

[@enricosala3574]

Bellissimo! Raro concerto, musica piacevolissima, da riscoprire... 👏👏👏

[@pmmdrt]

The composer was wellknown in his time and on good terms with Van Beethoven. Like his first is this also a fine concerto, beautiful performed!

[@perotolic2217]

Odličan koncert. Who is a painter?

[@alexanderp3689]

I know of Tomasek but I have never heard his music. From what I hear it sounds really good.

[@ghuez001]

This sounds like Beethoven at 14:00

[@canman5060]

Tomasek worked with Beethoven for many years.

Of course Solomon didn't have DNA or other forensic facilities available : just all that gold !

Sehr schöne Pianoparts und ein schönes, in sich ruhendes Adagio

[@themise1416]

Wonderful!

Back in his days it would be writem Wáclaw Gan Křtitel. Because back then our language was often written a little but different but we read it in a same way.

[@ekaterinalekkas2356]

This is magnificent!

[@harryandruschak2843]

Am I the only one who heard the opening bars and thought "Mozart"?

[@johnlawrence2757]

I doubt it

[@martinrcontreras876]

No, not the only one. It's a pity I have never heard this play in a concert before

[@ghuez001]

This sounds like Beethoven at 14:05

[@lsLoiSimone]

You are not familiar with Czech music, MOST of them composed in perfect mozartian style!

[@paulusaurelius6563]

No, but ignore it and just enjoy the damn' music!
