Duration: 8 minutes - Premiered as a piano duet at the Santa Fe New Music YouthFest in 2004 and by the Hartford Symphony in 2006.  It can be played as a piano duet at one or two pianos.

 

“One-Note Concerto combines a wide range of melodies that are surprisingly woven together through the reiteration - by the 'soloist' - of a single pitch (a very high “B”). From carnival-like tunes in the first movement, to introspective waltzes in the second, to a violent (yet lighthearted!) presto in the finale, this concerto aggressively pursues a sense of musical drama with its tongue firmly placed in its cheek.”    Jamie Allen, director of the Santa Fe New Music YouthFest
