I recently heard the new album by Ronald Brautigam playing Johann Wilhelm Wilms and really liked it. So let's talk piano concertos from that time! I also like that the first movement is long as ever with so called type 5 sonata form

Sounds interesting. I have some notes on early French composers of piano concertos and it will be good to compare.

Just heard one by Hummel

I listened to Hummel's Piano Concerto No. 2 and liked it! All except for the opening orchestral tutti that was unengaging. Once the piano had entered smoothly, all was well. No longer need I think of Hummel as a composer mainly to be brought in for thin areas of the repertoire -- such as septets.
