Concertino

Concertino (1991)

for solo piano

Duration: c. 5 minutes

This work began in 1989 as a solo piano composition for American choreographer Scott Clark. The work was developed in 1991 for another dance and music project about the meeting in America in 1953 between Igor Stravinsky and Dylan Thomas to discuss a new opera. Whilst not quoting or referring to Stravinsky’s own music, Concertino shares with it an energy as well as some neo-classical harmonic language.

First performed by David Appleton at the Sherman Arena Theatre, Cardiff on 9 December 1994
