This collection showcases two surviving keyboard concertos composed by Salieri when he was just twenty-three years old, offering a glimpse into the early genius of this Italian composer (1750-1825).

The Sonata in C Major adds an additional layer of complexity with its intricate structure and dynamic shifts.
