Double Concerto

Double concerto for piano, violoncello and orchestra bears the subtitle 'Romantic Offering' by which the composer describes the idea and intellectual form of the musical material. At the same time, he tries to take the artistic character and individual qualities of the two soloists at the world premiere, Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky, into account. Whereas the first two movements are rather dramatic, the third and last part, the sostenuto assai, is kind of a 'postscriptum' and a musical summary of the two previous parts.
