This is very creative, Utsyo. I like the contrast in timbres, however it isn't really my aesthetic (not that my word should in anyway cast into doubt the validity of it's idiom of expression, and it's undoubted technique!) :)

it's a shame it's so hard to get orchestras to play new music. the MIDI sounds good but a live performance of this would be super cool. Good job so far! 

Another fine piece, Utsyo. It hits all the bases for a piano concerto! If I were performing this, I would not be happy with the ending since I don't think it would get the audience on their feet for a well-deserved standing ovation! Toss aside your good taste and throw in some glissandi and octaves!! LOL

Pretty good this work.  I am enjoying listening to this. I like the orchestral textures and the use of the piano in the overall composition.

to Nicolas Kingman, on his 45th birthday. 

"A Concerto for Piano and Orchestra" was composed between the months of August and December 2020, with revisions being made in January 2021. Writing a concerted piece for piano with orchestra had always been something I wanted to do. After six abortive attempts over a span of 7 years did this piece come along. As time passed, my own conception of the work changed. I wanted to create a piece in which the orchestra had an important role to play and was not just merely accompanying the piano. Each instrumental group is an individual voice, or as Harry Birtwistle says "voices in a football chorus". The piece is laid out in three movements, closely interconnected to each other. The first movement is a Triptych, beginning with a brash and aggressive prelude and then leading into a playful game (thus, partita) before concluding with a rhythmically agile toccata. The second movement, a nocturne, is linked to the previous movement via a cadenza. This movement features a melody, developing slowly in the winds and brass, with commentary from the Piano, percussion and strings, till there is an almost exultant release of energy making that developing melody present itself uninterrupted. This leads directly into the third movement, which transforms the material of the toccata of the first movement into a frantic, jovial dance which dies away in the spirit of the nocturne. 

The work is a 45th birthday present for Nicolas Kingman, with whom I have had some wonderful conversations in music and who "wanted to hear the Piano Concerto quite eagerly!"
