Dit heuse concertstuk voor een solist (ofsolistengroep) en een vierstemmig variabel ensemble kan echter ook worden gespeeld met andere instrumenten, daartoe wordt First Concerto geleverd in twee transposities. Wanneer u een solist hebt die al vijf noten kan spelenis First Concerto hét eerste solowerk voor dit aankomend muziektalent!

Gute Literatur für Anfängerorchester, die lehrreich ist und Spaß macht, gibt es immer noch zu wenig. Für diesen Bedarf komponierte Peter Kleine Schaars sein First Concerto. Die Solostimme ist für verschiedenste Instrumente spielbar - auch für Blockflöte - und wird in zwei Transpositionen geliefert. Damit eignet sich dieses Werk ideal für das erste gemeinsame Zusammenspiel eines jungen Blockflötenensembles mit einem Jugendblasorchester oder einem variablen vierstimmigen Bläserensemble. Die Komposition setzt sich aus dem 3-Noten-Marsch, der 4-Noten-Ballade und dem 5-Noten-Rock zusammen. First Concerto ist also das ultimative erste Solowerk für jedes aufstrebendemusikalische Talent!

Commissioned by Marta Ptaszynska for the 1992 Bydgoszcz Percussion Symposium in Poland, Dorff’s concerto bears a secret program reflecting the proud strength of Polish Solidarnosc standing up to Soviet oppression. Lurking in the drama’s background were the ironies of Poland’s financial dependence on the USSR, and Dorff’s ancestry with Russian and Polish roots. The first movement was completed in August 1991, and an hour later Gorbachev was deposed by a coup; the remainder of the concerto was composed as the USSR fell. This glorious development for human freedom also meant the end of financial commitments from the USSR to its satellite countries, leading to the cancellation of the Bydgoszcz Festival. Percussionist Dean Witten premiered the work with the Haddonfield (NJ) Symphony, conducted by Maestro Alan Gilbert, then in his 20s.

Johannes Brahms' first Piano Concerto was the fruit of a complex, protracted, and extremely trying creative process. Its origin goes back to a sonata in D minor for two pianos conceived in spring 1854. The impulse for the creation of the main subject was however a shocking event: According to Joseqph Joachim, the theme originated after hearing about Schumanns suicide attempt. A few months earlier, Schumann had revealed Brahms to the musical world in his essay New Paths. In this article, Brahms is extolled as the musician who is called to give expression to the feeling of his times in an ideal fashion. The unusually rapid genesis of the D-minor sonata and its prevailingly dark, monumental mood can be interpreted as an impassioned compositional response to Schumann's suicide attempt. However, the year-long struggle to arrive at the final form of the work should perhaps also be seen in the context of the resounding praise of Schumann's prophetic article. Brahms undoubtly felt a growing inner pressure to live up to the expectations aroused therein.Together with Clara Schumann, Brahms played the three so far existing movements of the sonata, but he was very self-critical. He felt that he had not been able to realize the monumentality he had envisioned, and which Clara Schumann felt, by merely doubling the piano sound. He soon decided to transform the sonata into a symphony (his first orchestral project). However, this idea did not seem to fit his vision either. Only in spring 1855 did he strike upon the definitive solution: a piano concerto. With Brahms as soloist, this concerto premiered in 1859, though he initially had little success. He wrote to Joachim about one of the first performances that the concerto was a brilliant and unmistakable - failure. This hardly surprised Brahms, for he was undoubtedly aware of the newness of the work, which surpassed the expectations of the audience. The work's complex structure and symphonic dimensions, the solo part's rejection of showy, elegant brilliance, and the uniquely Brahmsian orchestral density it maintains throughout; all of these qualities inevitably exasperated audiences at first - until they raised this work to the ranks of the most celebrated concertos of all time.
