My performance of a piece which is not well-known at all but still very beautiful - and very very SAD. I remember that, when I listened to this for the first time, I was impressed at how, with the way the piano is used at the beginning, even major chords sound sad. Think about that for a second!

This was played at the 12th Soirée des Grands Amateurs de piano at the Opéra Comique in Paris, with the Orchestre de la Garde Républicaine, conducted by the amazing François Boulanger

Be sure to check out Simon Grisdale who played Mozart's 23rd concerto at the same concert:
