Misc. Notes This is a much-crossed-out manuscript and not of the final version of the score- the tempo indications are not the same, at any rate: Allegro for the outer movements, an Andante (crossed-out - intriguing...) introduction precedes the first movement... an opportunity for fans of this piece (I count myself one) to see the composer’s work process. So possibly slightly before 1885 (the year the concerto was completed). Note: first 6 pages Andante (in G-flat major) might be a sketch of a later part of the movement or of the slow movement, not of an introduction to the first movement? (Thematically related to the first movement, though.)

From Treccani biography of Martucci: "Fra l’estate 1884 e l’ottobre 1885 il M. portò a termine il secondo concerto per pianoforte e orchestra op. 66 in si bemolle minore, una delle sue opere più note, apprezzata anche da Liszt."

Possibly premiered by Ernesto Consolo who was the posthumous dedicatee of Dallapiccola's partita.
