A truly beautiful movement that dovetails with the Adagio section so well. What a beautiful instrument to write for. There are parts that evoke great musical style and the full orchestra section is wonderful with its depth and passion. I cannot wait for the final section and to hear the piece live one day.
I loved it! The same as with the second movement it makes me want to write a cello concerto, but in the meantime I just started yesterday taking a break from figuring out everything with my second symphony and started writing piano concerto that I am quite excited with. It’s a bit unusual for a piano concerto and I think it’s almost like a dream so far. Back to your piece, you had some really nice moments and I really like how you inserted more chromaticism into this piece than most of your other music, great job. This reminds me of a concert I’m going to see with the famous cellist Yo Yo Ma next year. I hope everything about the future of the concert you have planned for next year will go as planned because this and the second movement did not disappoint. I can’t wait for the third movement!. Very good job, keep it up and I wish you the best of luck with the future!
Thanks very much! Good spot, yes, I was experimenting with chromaticism and going for a bit of a Shosty feel in places. Best of luck with the piano concerto! All the best. Jeff

Thank you very much Stephen!
Lovely! Reminds me of Kabalevsky's cello concertos in a lot of places :)
Thanks! Never heard them...off to have a listen now!
