To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It presents consider- able technical difficulties to the soloist, but is also musically interesting. The Concerto opens with a Lento (G minor) intro- duction, in which the solo instrument has the chief claim on the listener's attention, with nothing higher than a display of virtuosity. After this the Down Among the Dead Men theme is announced by the orchestra, Allegro vivace. The theme is quaintly grim, braggarty, and very pronounced in rhythm : — Opus 71 67 A//&/-/ » J ' zaz AW j 1 (^ g^^^rg t...? m* *- m Variation 1 is rather brilliant in the solo part. Variation 2 is larger, and has a certain jerkiness. Variation 3 is notable for its fine pianoforte legato passages. Variation 4 — Presto, 3-4 time, moves very swiftly, although the theme is prominent and boldly outlined. Variation 5 (C major) has effective sequences of chords of the sixth, for the pianoforte. Variation 6 is clear and strong. Variation 7 — Intermezzo, is rather charming, but the grimness of the theme prevents this effect being carried too far.
