Commissioned by Karolina Blaberg Stiftung, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and dedicated to Lawrence Power, who gave the first performance in 2024. The composer comments, 'I wanted to write a big concerto for the instrument but decided to use a classical orchestra with double wind instruments and strings only. In this work, even the timpani doesn’t become part of the sound palette. Nor are there any other percussion, harps or keyboard instruments. In this way the concerto follows the line of my Violin Concerto No. 1 which I scored for a ‘Mozart’-sized orchestra. The piece is divided into three movements which are played without pauses in between, thus sharing all the material. I work with a large number of different characters, all identified by different harmonies, tempi and textures, drawing parallels with the course of my Piano Concerto No. 3.' - Magnus Lindberg -
