My Concerto for Flute and Orchestra originated from a rising whole tone scale motif

popping up in my head on a usual day during my last year in secondary school. Then I

used my school hours and free time to draft the entire concerto and orchestrate it. As a

result of the use of whole tone scale, the concerto while remaining mainly tonal

contains many atonal excerpts, marking a departure from my earlier style, while

retaining pentatonicism at other moments.

The first movement starts with the orchestra proclaiming the rising whole tone scale

motif, after which the soloist enters. What follows are alternating excerpts of

concertino and tutti, during which the flute variously enters into dialogue, argument or

duet with the orchestral instruments. Although at times heavy, the mood is generally

playful.

The second movement is dominated by an idyllic motif, on which the main theme,

although at times chromatic, is almost free of whole tone scale. This, however, is

interrupted by the blatantly whole-tone episode, in which pizzicato strings give the

music a mischievous tone. The idyllic passage soon returns, intermingled with brief

cadenzas.

The third movement returns to the rising whole tone scale motif with a blast. The

main theme is outwardly joyful and active. The episodes feature chamber music

texture and often return to the idyll or mischievousness of the second movement.
