Description
Written in 1997 through collaboration with Makoto Nakura, this concerto draws on Mozart’s piano concertos. The catalogue credits the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and Kobe Ensemble of Japan as commissioners, and lists premieres with Nakura in Vermont in September 1997 and Japan that November. The composer gives a duration of 21 minutes. The soloist ornaments the opening melody; the reflective second movement uses strings, and the energetic finale recalls the first movement.
