Piano Concerto no. 2 in A minor, op. 85

Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Piano Concerto No. 2 in A minor, Op. 85 was written in 1816 and published in Vienna in 1821.
Unlike his earlier piano concerti, which closely followed the model of Mozart's, it is written in a proto-Romantic style that anticipates the later stylistic developments of composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt and Felix Mendelssohn. In this regard, it is similar to the slightly later Piano Concerto No. 3. It was considered a showpiece of its time by pianists such as Robert Schumann.
