Abstract:
Piano Concerto No. 1 is a twenty-minute work scored for large orchestra and solo piano. Its two movements explore
various orchestral colors and textures, and utilize the harmonic languages of tonality, polytonality, atonality, and centricity.
The fanciful first movement, with its delicate phrases and rhapsodic episodes, pays homage to the sensibilities and aesthetics of
the romantic period, while the second movement, robust and exclamatory in nature, unashamedly flaunts its virtuosity with
rhythmic complexity and vigorous primitivism.
