The Piano Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 17, by Camille Saint-Saëns was composed in 1858, [1] when the composer was 23 and dedicated to Marie Jaëll. [2] It is the first piano concerto ever written by a major French composer.
There are three movements:
The work is scored for solo piano, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. A notable feature is an opening triadic solo for the natural horn which predates the much more famous example of Johannes Brahms's B-flat Concerto by around 20 years.
