Written in 2017-18 at the request of Yuja Wang, the new piano concerto is a twenty five-minute work in three movements, played without pause. The orchestration, in addition to solo piano, includes bass guitar and a specially detuned “honky-tonk” piano.

After the Los Angeles performances Yuja Wang and the L.A. Philharmonic will tour with the piece in Tokyo, New York, London, Edinburgh, Mexico City and elsewhere.

John Adams will conduct performances in 2020 with Jeremy Denk in the U.S. and with Vikingur Olafsson in Paris and Amsterdam.

god the style of writing in that NYT piece is so pompous in a particular American way. It’s got that self-knowing pomp which is really insular.

Anyway lately I’ve been listening to quite a few of these modern PCs. Unsuk Chin’s is pretty awesome.

Piemontesi did that here earlier this year. Apparently the hardest piece he’s played, worse than the Bartok-2.
