Robert Schumann's Introduction and Concert Allegro (Template:Lang-de) for piano and orchestra, Op. 134, was one of his last works. Composed in 1853, Schumann gave the autograph score to his wife, Clara Schumann, as a birthday gift; she would give the first performance on 26 November.[1] The work is dedicated to Johannes Brahms, and a typical performance is 13-14 minutes long.

Scoring

The Introduction and Concert Allegro is scored for solo piano, pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets in B♭, bassoons, horns, and trumpets, trombone, and strings.
