Piano Concerto No. 8 (Ries)

The Piano Concerto No. 8 in A-flat major, Op. 151 "Gruss an den Rhein" (French: "Salut au Rhein") (English: "Greetings to the Rhein"), by Ferdinand Ries was composed around 1826 and published in 1829 by Simrock. While still showing the structural influence of Beethoven's piano concertos, the writing for the piano is more akin to that of later composers such as Chopin, Mendelssohn & Schumann.
