Hans Abrahamsen's Concerto For Piano And Orchestra was composed in 1999 by commission for the BIT-20 Ensemble. A complex and multi-layered work opening with highly minimal material and very slowly building to an ecstatic frenzy across the four movements. As the piece progresses Abrahamsen has also included some significant nods towards composers Gyorgy Ligeti (a former teacher of the composer) and Gustav Mahler.The work was premiered at the Ultima Festival in Oslo in 2000 with Anne Marie Abildskov as soloist. I Allegro Volante e nervoso II Adagio innocente e semplice III Tempo de grandegioia IV Fluente ma tranquillo Programmenote: ???The piano concerto starts entirely as I usually start with this filigree in the piano and many simultaneous layers ??? Hans Abrahamsen has explained ???The beginning is music that could continue almost minimalistically ad infinitum. But it doesn???t. Instead it has a seizure after just thirty seconds. It literally comes to a halt!???There is no programmatic structure behind the four-movement course of the concerto but a romantically minded listener may be tempted to interpret the development from a quick stalling of the familiar through the introduction (by the lyrical second movement) of something much more ???innocent and simple??? as it says - something feminine one feels like adding - to the third movement???s flashing firework display of a scherzo which draws the curtain aside for a liberating rush of joy as life after the advent of love. However the undersigned assumes full responsibility for this interpretation.The piano soloist is the undisputed main character in the concerto and plays almost constantly in the first three movements. It is only in the fourth movement that she takes a break and listens. ???The piano stirs up an anthill??? is Hans Abrahamsen???s own description ???and it becomes almost operatic! It is as if the music is about to fall right out over the edge of the abyss at the drastic general

Widely considered the most important of the Russian nationalist composers Moussorgsky finished relatively few works in the course of his tragically short life. His unorthodox techniques made a considerable impression on later composers. A Night On Bald Mountain is a brilliant example of Moussorgsky's unique sense of theatrical effect and was completed and orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov after the composer's death. This work is a staple part of the orchestral repertoire.

Bach?s Harpsichord concerti extremely popular among pianists are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the Violin. Bach however succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasies of Violin technique to the keyboard with such ingenuity that most of today?s pianists also include these concerti in their standard repertoire. The first concerto in d minor is perhaps the most popular not least because of its jaunty outer movements and the eminently forceful solo part. Now as a prelude to a series of all of Bach?s Harpsichord concerti G. Henle Publishers presents a Piano reduction and study edition (score) of the d-minorconcerto. None other than András Schiff the outstanding Bach expert has provided fingering suggestions.
