well, Pianist and Eagles... thank-you for the compliemtns (and sports metaphores!)
Funny isn't it, this isn't even a piece I was ever really fond of.
It's actually the very first piece I wrote when I moved out of my parents' place (I was 27.. after finishing my bachelor's). And it's, how to say... more "adventuresome" than most of what I've written since. I've written various atonal pieces, and relatively dissonant works, but this is pretty much the largest "modern" work in my catalogue.
I'm glad people are enjoying it so much. To be perfectly frank, it's a tiny bit unbalanced, in my opinion, from a performance point of view. The minimalist section is a tiny bit "too easy" for a really satisfying concerto. The rest of the piece balances out nicely, however. The cadenza is a lot of fun to play.. especially if you schmaltz up the tempo and make it even more "romantic".

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
