Concert band Piano And concert band - Grade 5 SKU: BF.BM397-SET Opus 10. Composed by Sergei Prokofiev. Arranged by Douglas McLain. Baton Music instrumental series. Opus 10. Full Score and set of parts. Duration 16:00. Baton Music #BM397-SET. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM397-SET). Prokofiev composed his first piano concerto while at the Conservatory, in 1911 and 1912, and premiered it himself on August 7, 1912. The concerto is a single movement divided into clearly marked sections. Prokofiev could in this way keep the typical fast-slow-fast structure of the usual three-movement concerto, yet use some of the same thematic elements throughout all of his sections. Throughout the work, Prokofiev demonstrates his penchant for bright, percussive textures. The glockenspiel takes on a uniquely soloistic role, often teaming up with the piano to sparkle above the orchestral fray. With its bravura solos and daring harmonies, Prokofiev's first 'mature' composition announces him as a musical force to be reckoned with.
