Concertino for piano and chamber orchestra

composition
posted on 2023-06-07, 22:59 authored by Martin Butler
The three movements are designed to contrast and complement one another. The first, Waltzes and Marches, constantly alternates these two dance genres, sometimes in surprising ways, sometimes so that their differences become indistinct. The second movement, Nocturne, suggests the gentle movement and reflected light of a child's mobile. The last movement is a frenetic (although quite light-textured) Toccata in which the piano plays rapid figuration between the hands almost continuously throughout, ending with a quiet little chorale followed by a last upward flourish and a bang.
