How many Piano Concertos did Beethoven compose?!


Question: How many Piano Concertos did Beethoven compose!?
I always thought there were 32, yet there is a cd on Amazon advertised as containing no's 35, 36, 37 & 38Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
As Maclom says, I think you mean sonatas!. Beethoven wrote 38 piano sonatas - the 32 most people know and the very early ones which do not appear in the numbered series 1-32!. These were written when Beethoven was a teenager!. They are:

Sonata in E flat WoO 47 No 1
Sonata in F minor WoO 47 No2
Sonata in D major WoO 47 No 3
Sonata in C major WoO 51 (incomplete)
Sonata in G major Anh 5 No 1
Sonata in F major Anh 5 No 2Www@Enter-QA@Com

Beethoven only wrote 5 piano concertos, or 6 if you count an early Woo in Eb!. (or 7 if you count his transcription of his Violin Concerto)

You are thinking of piano SONATAS!. The full-blown mature sonatas with opus numbers count is 32!. Amazon is including the 6 "Elector" sonatas he wrote when he was young -- I think he was 11 or 12 years old when he wrote those!.

I think you mean sonatas (not concertos)!. There are officially 32 however - there are a number of pieces that are disputedly sonatas and sonatinas by Beethoven, but none of them has an opus number!.
I suspect the album that you are referriing to is that by Jeno Jando on Naxos!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
