The Classical Piano Concerto

The Classical Concerto for piano and strings was written and dedicated to the concert pianist Hwa jung Lee and conceived as a neoclassical composition inspired by Sergei ProkofievAAAs Symphony No. 1 in D Major, the AAAClassical SymphonyAAA. Both works were written away from the piano as an attempt to emulate the style of Classical composers , yet still reflecting contemporary AAAcompositional practices.AAA Both works are close to the same length of time and neither composition contains quotations from Classical composers such as Haydn and Mozart. As ProkofievAAAs work stemmed from his conducting class at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in which his teacher, Nokolai Tcherepnin, taught his students the conducting practice of the Classical period, AAAThe Classical ConcertoAAA for Piano and Strings was written with the purpose of introducing a modern Piano Concerto to todayAAAs stage that reflects the tradition of AAAbeautyAAA and characteristic AAAstyleAAA of the master composers of the Classical time period. AAAA contemporary Piano Concerto that does not strive for new vistas, but expresses a deep gratitude for those who came before.AAA Timothy Brown, composer (2016) (
