Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23, is a three-movement work for piano and orchestra. He composed it between November 1874 and February 1875, later revising it, and dedicated it to Hans von Bülow after Nikolai Rubinstein rejected the first version harshly. Hans von Bülow gave the premiere in Boston on 25 October 1875 with B. J. Lang conducting. The successful performance helped move the concerto from a difficult beginning into the standard concert repertoire, although the work's original scale remains the piano-and-orchestra score rather than a solo keyboard reduction. The selected MuseScore item is explicitly an easy version for solo piano. It is not the original piano-and-orchestra score, and the available metadata does not establish which movements it includes.
