When the doors of an operatic career opened for Hérold, around 1820, he took good care to hide away the piano
concertos he had written shortly after 1810 so as to avoid accusations of eclecticism. Left to languish in obscurity until
our own time, these dazzling pieces are nonetheless indispensable examples of specular virtuosity and Romantic
sentiment in which the spirit of Beethoven and Schubert is perceptible. Here is a missing link between Mozart and
Chopin!
