Rautavaara Piano Concerto No. 1 Op. 45

[Skeptopotamus]

mmmmmmm it's tasty.  should i queue it for being learned?

[prometheus]

I like it.

But if you should learn it, no idea. How could I ever answer that? It's an unusual piano concerto. And what about his other two?

I think Rautavaara's first concerto is a magnificent piece. I've got the score for it around here somewhere and have worked on it a little bit. Some of the technical aspects are a little unusual but he wrote it for himself to play so that explains some of it. E-mail me if you want the score.

Can you tell me where you got the score?

I have a hard time finding pdf's of rare scores and full scores.

I would love to hear the sound recordings and obtain a copy of the score.  pronske@yahoo.com    Thanks.

My only copy of the score is the real, physical, sheet music. I bought it at Hutchins and Rea (https://www.hutchinsandrea.com). It's published by Breitkopf and Hartel and I think it cost me $36.95.

it's because of people like you that children are dying in africa.

The first concerto is way more obvious than the other two. But the third is magic also. It has more depth. I don't like the snare drum in the finale, or is it a whole drum set? It's to harsh and tasteless for me. The first movement is really special.

The third is so dreamy and melancholic in the first movement.
