Jan Freidlin's
lush and beautiful
Romantic Concerto for
Trombone, Piano and
Strings was composed in
2004 and is in the
traditional three
movements. The 15-minute
work is appropriate for
advanced
performers.
A 4 1/2
minute sample of the
Concerto (on our site) is
beautifully performed by
the Odessa Philharmonic
Chamber Orchestra,
Conductor Igor Shavruk
and Trombone solist
Andrei Sokolov.
Below
is what the composer has
written about his
work:
Written in
2004 , this composition
combines three
contrasting movements,
however their style is
not typical of a
classical concerto, nor
of a romantic
work.
The 1st
movement - Moderato has a
long recitative-like
introduction performed by
the soloist over a
background of aleatoric
sounds of divisi strings.
The tonality is
indefinite with many
harmonic
changes.
Ã
¢â‚¬Â¨The music
gradually builds up more
and more leading the
listener to the 2nd
movement - Vivace
energico in which the
Piano makes its first
appearance, adding
rhythmic complexity. In
the 2nd movement the main
motive from the 1st
movement is reintroduced
and the mood gains in
intensity with various
syncopated rhythmic
phrases as the orchestra
and solo Trombonist
accelerate together into
a major
climax.
ÃÂ
¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚¨With the
energy drained out of the
music by the conclusion
of the 2nd movement the
listener is brought to
the 3rd movement -
Adagietto. This movement
is absolutely lyrical,
elegiac and unexpectedly
tonal. Its main melody
has an atmosphere of
nostalgia leading to the
emotional center of the
whole work, the softest
climax of the Concerto .
The soloist plays it in
many tonalities, then
gradually this warm wave
eases, leaving the
listener in a cathartic
condition.
The
Concerto contains many
virtuosic moments for the
soloist that sound very
expressive and
heroic.
