Horribly emotional, horribly tremendous and horribly difficult.

it's all about the myth of orpheus - the piano has to tame the orchestra, but not by whipping it (as tempting as it may sound  ;) ) but by pure love.

two things i was scared about playing this concert: the 1st chord (1st part) and the 1st chord (2nd part)
