Johann Nepomuk Hummel's Piano Concerto No. 2 in A minor, Op. 85 was written in 1816 and published in Vienna in 1821.[1]
Unlike his earlier piano concerti, which closely followed the model of Mozart's, it is written in a proto-Romantic style that anticipates the later stylistic developments of composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt and Felix Mendelssohn.[2] In this regard, it is similar to the slightly later Piano Concerto No. 3.
It was considered a showpiece of its time by pianists such as Robert Schumann.[3]
