It's the Adagio which I think is the second movement.

I think the most familiar part is the third movement, but there is no pause between the second movement and the third.
For example: I have Alfred Brendel's version (Simon Rattle in the orchestra) and all the concerto is about 40 minutes. The change from the second to the third movement is in minute number 29.

I would have to say that the "Adagio un poco mosso," the second movement is probably the most familiar part of the concerto to most people. The entire concerto is such a masterpiece that I would recommend not missing any part of it.

The beginning of the Emperor Concert! That cascade of piano scales and arpeggios opens 1st movement like a free fantasia, then the full orchestra delivers the potent 1st theme, one of those lines you never forget. The 2nd theme of the 1st movement is a mysterious march in pianissimo, creating a sharp contrast (the opening is in E flat major, here we jump to E flat minor); the development is superb with virtuoso parts and a triumphing finale.
The Adagio un poco mosso (in B major!) is also beautiful, very intimate, but not so brilliant. The final Rondò resumes the brilliance of the beginning but to me it exceeds a bit in the research of effect.

I love the fifth Piano concerto, the Emperor...It is so majestic, yet it has sweet parts, other parts are a contrast, very much like Beethoven, full of contrasts...I love especially the end part of the last movement...Wow!

You find it right off the bat - the piano opens the discussion in rapid-fire succession, and the orchestra is invited to join at a furious pace. In Immortal Beloved, when Gary Oldman does that, it's such a bitchin scene.

This is probably the most familiar of all piano concertos (or concerti, if you prefer). To those who appreciate classical music, the entire work is familiar.

Curious J is correct - it is the second movement that you hear the most. I've heard it as background music in TV shows, movies, even commercials! It's lush and very romantic sounding.

For me, the second movement is the one that will lift you up to unknown heights. It literally makes me cry with joy and sadness.
Here are the notes it begins with (played in C).
e..e..d..e..c..f..d.....g..g..a..b..c..e..d.
The dots are the counts to hold. It gets better and better. This sound is beautiful.
Hope this helps. It makes me think that He is thinking about his lost love.
