From 1879/1880. Scharwenka was a Prussian pianist and composer. He was a well-known pianist in the late 19th century. He was also a music educator and had a music school in Berlin and, for a short while, in New York.
This is a virtuoso piano concerto in the best sense of the word, in my opinion. It was originally intended to be simply a piano fantasy.
Classical, rock, blues, jazz...what interests me. I listen to many hours of music a week and sift out what I consider of particular interest for this site. [My personal background is rooted in classical and the "San Francisco Sound", but I appreciate most genres.]
If you are interested in more than is posted here, you can check my Facebook page where I publicly post much more music most days.
