This is one of my earlier works, completed in 2002. It is a dramatic work with lots of dynamic waving. The first movement starts in a mystery but quickly turns into an energic perpetuum mobile while the contrast section is lyrical at first (2:08) and is followed by a powerful climax (2:47- 3:19). The reminiscent of the first section reappears in more quiet atmosphere and in very high register.
A short cadenza using only cello and percussion (4:28) introduces the second movement (5:33) which I constantly full of drama despite being slow.
Another short cadenza with the same material but slightly developed in orchestration (9:58) slowly rises towards the third movement (11:14) which is predominantly rhythmic and unleashes all its inner power. A short reminiscent of the beginning reappears (12:23) and is followed by a fast coda (13:35) which ends the concerto.
The concerto is dedicated to my late Grandfather who was the cellist but I never experienced hearing him playing.
When thinking about the form I would probably write a longer one today, with longer waves and better handling of structure. But I will keep this youthful work untouched - when my composition is performed in public it should remain forever the same. My experience would be used in future works.
The concerto is performed by one of my best friends, a great cellist Karmen Pecar.

As before I apologize for not attaching the score. All my orchestral works are either published or kept under control of publishing house of Edicije Drustva slovenskih skladateljev.

This is insanely good. Tell me you are doing this professionally and making lots of money at it.
I have studied composition and music theory professionally, but, ironically, I am making more money as a teacher than a composer. In our country, the mentality is that creating music should be for free. Fortunatelly, the situation has improved in last few years, but I still would not survive well just by composing.
Nigel, I am very glad you like it!

I couldn't have said this better myself. Amazing stuff! Congratulations on a superb performance, too!
I guess it's the energy of music itself. I, for example am not too happy with the formal approach.

This is live performance of this concerto, done a couple of days after the recording. Enjoy!

Listened to this again. Especially with my own Cello concertino piece in mind. It is a wonderful piece.
What is the purpose of the pizz/gliss at 10:13 (in the latest youtube vid) ? I can;t hear it because of the strings in the background.
I don't know what is wrong with the formal approach. Since I can't read with the score (unfortunately, but I understand it) can you give an overview of the form? At 3:23 there is a recap of the opening. I think finishing the first movement at 4:26. Then starts something else that sounds like Lutoslawski's concerto?
Anyway. How is the form now, and why don't you like the formal approach anymore?

I would definitely make the concerto longer with better approach towards waving - these dynamic waves are short and explosive. For example: the rising towards the fast pace finale (at about 10:30 onwards) is too quick - I should have delivered at least a minute long rising, not 20-30 seconds. And the finale is a short one as well - an extra minute or two would be much better. I am more pleased with first two movements, but I believe I use too much up and down dynamics and not staying in particular mood for a longer time.Listened to this again.

You gave mentioned pizzicato in 10:13, there is not much reason for it. It was just a brainwave and I used it.
As I have said before, I will not change a single note. This is my achievement from 2002. And I have learned a lot in 10 years. Will use this experience in future works.
I said on my website I have rarely written a composition longer than 15 minutes. This is still true, but I would love to become more comfortable with composing some 20-25 minute long orchestral works. That's why I am happy with my second symphony, my first 25 minute-long achievement.
I have no complaints on this work. Granted, the moods are rapidly changing and the structure is indeed wavy, but I don't see it as a shortcoming. The piece is full of energy and life, and the performance brings them out in an appropiate fashion. (BTW, I wish I was composing at this level in 2002)... Thanks for sharing!
Hello,
Like others have said this before me but in my own words: wonderful!
It is an immense experience sitting through it and fills the soul with joy and exitement... What a great dedication you honoured your grandfather with!
Respect,
Peter
