What is the name of this classical piano piece?

I will tell you as much as I can. I am 95% sure it was written by beethoven. If not, it sounds classical period. It's either in Eb major or possibly C major, but probably Eb. It's triple meter, and the main theme is like this:

Eb . . Cm . . Fm .(c). EbB . . Bb . .

Bb7 . . Bb7C . . Bb7D . . Eb4 . Eb . .

(dots representing beats).

It's pretty slow, I'd say around 60bpm. It starts with the orchestra playing the main theme, after they play it once, the orchestra silences, and the piano plays the main theme and a little extra solo. It is very soft and calming. I can play the main theme but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Update:

I actually found the song. For those curious, it was Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 2, 2nd Movement.

Thanks!

    Not sure, though I highly doubt that Ludwig van would write a ii-I chord progression.
