Description
Program note
Concerto piccolo I is inspired by the complex rhythms created when the ocean waves hit the rocks. At first it is interesting, I become curious, but it quickly transforms into a different state, a special feeling of time, where I am both completely present and outside of time itself.
The movement starts at a faster tempo, with the accordion moving in and out of a rhythmic texture in the orchestra. Various melodies emerge, and the movement ends with a repetition of the main melody in a slow, introspective version.
Concerto piccolo I was commissioned by PIF Castelfidardo 2023 as final work in third round, Premio and was played for the first time by Zhiyuan Zhang (first price), Olzhas Nurlanov (second price) and Petar Din?i? (third price) at Teatro Astro, Castelfidardo, Italy by Orchestra Filarmonica della Calabria and conductor Alfredo Luigi Cornacchia.
The work can be performed together with Concerto piccolo II (2025) as Accordion Concerto No. 3.
The two movements were composed concurrently for Bjarke Mogensen, as works for accordion and electronics/sampled orchestra in 3D immersive audio. It is created for performances in churches, galleries, larger or smaller concert venues, as well as outdoors in a rocky landscape, the forest or the city in squares, factory buildings or the like.
