Konzertstück in F minor

Weber's most celebrated piano work with orchestra (J. 282, 1821) is not cataloged here as a solo piano work but provides the context for his piano style: a four-movement programmatic concert piece depicting a knight's crusade and reunion with his lady. Its influence on Chopin's and Liszt's concerto writing was enormous.

When playing Weber's concert pieces at the piano, remember their orchestral ambition. Weber imagined a full orchestra behind his solo writing — the left-hand accompaniments are often implicitly orchestral, suggesting string pizzicato, horn calls, or woodwind chords.
