Product Description
•••••
Concerto after Tchaikovsky is cast in the traditional three
movements, and is very loosely modeled on Tchaikovsky’s much-loved
violin concerto. Consequently, there is a cadenza in the first movement
before the recapitulation, akin to that in the violin concerto. The listener
will also note figuration drawn from the final movement of that work, but the
movement also captures the spirit of the “Trepak” in the Nutcracker
Ballet. The centerpiece of the concerto is a gentle slow movement.
Throughout the work, Canfield sought to evoke the spirit of Tchaikovsky
through melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and orchestrational means. While
there are no deliberate quotes from any of Tchaikovsky’s music, some
of the gestures are likely to be found somewhere in his voluminous
output. Recognizing that, as in other works in his “after” series, some of
his own fingerprints showed up in the work, Canfield made no effort to
suppress any vestiges of his own style. The duration of the concerto is
approximately 20 minutes.
The edition listed here is a piano reduction of the full orchestral accompaniment. The edition with orchestra (JP6033) is also available.
