 * We might say even more, and I find the addition of movements from his mass quite remarkable:
 * ALT1: ... that Ludwig van Beethoven was the pianist and conductor in a four-hour concert that featured the public premieres of his Symphony No. 5, Symphony No. 6, Piano Concerto No. 4 and Choral Fantasy, and also a concert aria and excerpts from his Mass in C?
 * We might also say that it was his last public concert as a pianist, and have the nice contemporary review "To judge all these pieces after one and only hearing, especially considering the language of Beethoven's works, in that so many were performed one after the other, and that most of them are so grand and long, is downright impossible." - the whole thing is too much for a DYK hook ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:20, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

 * ALT2: ... that Ludwig van Beethoven's final concert as a solo pianist featured the public premieres of his Symphony No. 5, Symphony No. 6, Piano Concerto No. 4 and Choral Fantasy?
 * It was not Beethoven's final concert as a solo pianist but rather, as the article says, the final time he appeared as the soloist in a piano concerto. Syek88 (talk) 11:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
