Piano Concerto (Khachaturian)

Piano Concerto (Khachaturian)

Aram Khachaturian wrote his Piano Concerto in 1936. [ [http://www.moscowchamberorchestra.com/disc_other_chan8542.html Moscow Chamber Orchestra Discography ] ] . The piece is in three movements and is in D-flat major. [ [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000042DF Amazon.com: Khachaturian: Concerto for violin in Dm; Concerto for piano in Df: Music: Aram Khachaturian,Anatole Fistoulari,Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos,Stanley Black,Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra,London Philharmonic Orchestra,London Symphony Orchestra,Alicia de Larrocha,John Georgiadis,Ruggiero Ricci ] ] The first movement, "Allegro ma non troppo e maestoso", makes extensive use of the three-note theme of F, B-double-flat, and A-flat. The second movement, "Andante con anima", is one of the few major classical pieces to make use of a flexatone. The third movement, "Allegro brillante", caps the piece in an exciting manner.
