Along with the culture and history, etc. of our lifetime, we are also watching classical music dying because as I often say it truly takes a music education to understand it completely and so without the musical education to support it, great classical music will eventually fade away - even though it has lasted this long, the orchestras and pianists may not be around much longer, either.
I will also say that even if you can't play any of the instruments, it certainly helps to at least be able to read music to get into the depth and full appreciation of it all.
I do, however, thankfully realize that there are also those who can simply appreciate the perfected sound of absolute music - meaning the pure sound of music simply for the sake of the sound of pure music.
This page is an opportunity for anyone interested in digging deep into a few works for orchestra and piano. You may pull up the complete score or the piano solo part. Y'all know that good readers can sit back and enjoy a well written book. Well. a musician can sit back and enjoy reading a complete orchestra / band score and hear the music in their own mind.
But in this case, you can hear the music by the video and read along with the complete orchestral or piano score.

Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15, was written in 1795, then revised in 1800. The first performance took place on 18 December 1795 in Vienna with Beethoven himself as soloist. It was first published in 1801 in Vienna with dedication to his pupil Princess Anna Louise Barbara Odescalchi (née Countess von Keglević), known to her friends as "Babette".
Although this was Beethoven's first piano concerto to be published, it was actually his third attempt at the genre, following an unpublished piano concerto in E-flat major of 1784 (not to be confused with Beethoven's more famous "Emperor" concerto, also in E-flat) and the Piano Concerto No. 2. The latter was published in 1801 in Leipzig after the Piano Concerto No. 1, but was composed over a period of years, perhaps beginning ca. 1788. Its first performance took place on 29 March 1795, several months before the concerto now referred to customarily as "No. 1".
