This exciting new concerto for the intermediate-level pianist is destined to become a classic contemporary student concerto. A NFMC 2004-5-6 Junior Festival choice, this stunning work for solo piano and accompanist is written in three contrasting movements. A forward-moving first movement in D Minor with ample parallel passage work in the solo piano part provides a compelling opening to the concerto. The lyrical second movement precedes a rollicking, final movement in the key of D Major. Suitable for the advancing pianist as well, this youth concerto is also a great repertoire selection for concerto festivals and competitions. Score includes two performance copies of the entire concerto.
