Concerto for Small Hands for Piano & Orchestra Op. 53 [HL:215279]

The words 'for small hands' used in the title of the Concerto may suggest that it is an easy piece aimed at children. Weel, it is not as such. Its volume (duration 19 minutes) already creates a problem of a long concentration span and music tension. (...) Technically speaking, the work requires high manual agility, as well as imagination and virtuosity at times. (...) Once the performer of this concert has overcome the hardships of comprehending and mastering parts I and II, there awaits an award – part III: uncomplicated text, pure joy, life, temperament, wit, cheek. The piece ends with the krakowiak in fff dynamics!
