Description
Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s (1844-1908) Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor, Op. 30, was written at the request of Mily Balakirev and was premiered at one of his Free Music School concerts in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1884. Rimsky-Korsakov dedicated the work to Franz Liszt, as Liszt’s concertos were used as a model for composing a piano concerto in a single movement. Using a single theme (No. 18 from Balakirev’s collection of folk songs), each section contrasts but flow into each other without boundaries. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano.
Instrument: Full Orchestra
Medium: Conductor Score
