Piano Concerto No. 1: Mythos
Piano Concerto No. 1: MYTHOS, Haralabos [Harry] Stafylakis (2023)
for piano and orchestra
Piano Concerto No. 1: MYTHOS came into existence some 15 years later, following my collaboration with pianist Jenny Lin on my series of piano etudes. Born of my love for two of my favorite instruments – the piano and the symphony orchestra (yes, I consider it an instrument) – this concerto serves as a semi-biographical archive of my personal musical history.
Each of the four movements is modeled – loosely and idiosyncratically – on a traditional form and its archetypal function within a multi-movement work: prologue (prelude), sonata, scherzo, fantasy. Together they trace a dramatic-narrative arc that, I hope, conveys the sense of mythological grandeur that I feel when I consider the vaunted history of the piano concerto as one of our most important and celebrated orchestral genres.
Instrumentation: Solo piano; 2(picc).2(corA).2(bcl).2(cbsn)/4.2.3.1/timp.2 perc/str
Orchestral performance parts are available via rental.
