Felix Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25, was written in 1830-31, around the same time as his fourth symphony ("ltalian") and premiered in Munich on October 17, 1831. This concerto was composed in Rome during a journey to ltaly, after the composer had met the pianist Delphine von Schauroth in Munich. The concerto was dedicated to her. Mendelssohn attended one party after another in Munich in October 1831, the month of the premiere, but he also played chamber music and taught double counterpoint. He performed the piece himself at the premiere, which also included performances of his “Symphony No. 1” and the Overture from A Midsummer Night's Dream. He had already written a piano concerto in A minor with string accompaniment (1822) and two concertos with two pianos (1823-24).
