** The original Piano Concerto had four movements of which only the Intermezzo and Rondo were widely performed by Eduard Erdman. Artur Schnabel agreed with this practice, and thus only those two movements have been engraved and published. A 2-Piano reduction has been published and is also available from Peermusic Classical.
