Art Zegelaar Piano Concerto


Piano Concerto


Hmmm. Sorry to interrupt my Beethoven series. I thought it is time to introduce my 'Piano Concerto'! 
I had so much fun writing it!

It came about when I woke up one morning and actually had written the main theme whilst asleep and dreaming.  Well...that's about 12 bars and I knew I had to write it down immediately otherwise I would forget it. You can hear it at 0:54. It goes through all 12 keys.

I made the whole composition into a memory of my time in New Zealand and made a collage with my students in the scenery.



There are 3 movements.

The first movement lasts about 6 minutes as it is now, but it actually is not entirely finished. Still room to elaborate.

The middle movement is actually is a cakewalk. Is good as is, I guess...

Then the 3rd movement. Thought of as a Rondo at first but developed quite differently. Very exciting to listen to - I hope - and play also!


Enjoy!
