"Vision of delight" Concerto for clarinet and orchestra, Mvt 2

"Air" for piano solo

This is a very personal composition.
The main themes I use here I found when I was 17. That time I had not the handicraft to compose a really good work. Many studies of Palestrina, J.S.Bach, Beethoven, Dvorak, Debussy and so on was necessary to reach at last this result. Ten years ago I remembered of these old themes and deciede to make a concert of it. The whole concerto consists of Intro and two themes. But there are so many secession of motifs, seven counterpoints of main theme, so it is became very complex. The much too long Intro is a piece for itself.
Inspite of that I hope you can enjoi it.
Written down in 2018, digal realisation 2020.

"Reminiscence" Concerto for piano and orchestra (1)in a-minor Mvt.1

This is the second movement of a very personal composition.
