PIANO CONCERTO 2015
(Piano Concerto)
for piano and chamber orchestra
As I was studying piano since I was 7 and kept studying it simultaneously with composition, I've decided to finish my composition studies at the Conservatory with my own and first Piano Concerto as my graduation concert. At the recording, I'm soloist on piano and chamber orchestra consists of my classmates with minimal orchestra experience. Although it is one of my first orchestral works, I was already looking for new kinds of colors and new aleatoric techniques that I've decided to use later.
