piano + orchestra piece (first three minutes)

Hi, and happy chistmas and a good new year to you all...
this is a try at combining piano and orchestra.
The main theme is something quite pathetic (in c minor, and with a typical chromatical descending "lamento" bass in the latter part of the main theme), hence the title.
It ends a bit after the part where the faster counter themes have appeared at first...

all comments and suggestions welcome!

HERE'S THE FILE:

BTW: all sounds come from the Kantakt player silver in sibelius (sadly enough I had to return the laptop with those after I finished my transcription job, so whenever I want to continue the piece I'll have to start from the midi files and render it - after editing it? - with my edirol orchestral).

bye,

frederik

So far great, very good. I really like your style of writing. Anychance of a score? Sometimes the recording is difficult to make out.

Are you going to make this into a larger work....piano concerto perhaps? or is it going to be a standalone piece?

Keep up the great work

Thanks for the kind words, MaestroX

I don't know whether this is going to be a standalone piece or part of a bigger piece - though I already had an idea for some presto part that could be the final part of some concerto thing.
But, I'm afraid all these things will have to wait till I can find more time to work on them...

Oh, and yes I can submit a score... do you want it as a sibelius file, or as tiff-images?
I have to warn you that it is the compositional score, and hardly edited from a visual stanpoint (so you might find crescendo's going trough notes of another voice, etc.). I can't edit it anymore, 'cause as I said I had to return the laptop with Sibelius after I finished my transcoption job...

talk soon,

bye,

frederik

A very nice piece and the rendition sounded very convincing though I wasn't too sure about the balance between orchestra and soloist when the former rose to something approaching a tutti - hope the piano part (that seemed so well written) doesn't get obscured in a live performance. The balance is fine on this production. The scoring sounds good but sight of the score would be welcome.

Altogether an engaging style and easy to listen to.
Great!

Very nice! In fact, I think what you have so far is beautiful!
I really liked the "lament" of the trumpet.

Did you have any particular influences?
