Program Notes Piano Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 16 - Edvard Grieg I. Allegro molto moderato Jocelyn Gao, Soloist
Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) wrote this piano concerto in 1868, and it was the only concerto that he wrote, popular among his own work and among all piano concertos. It is one of his earliest pieces, written at age 24 in Denmark during one of his visits there. It contains many elements of Norwegian folk music, and is also very similar to the piano concerto written by Robert Schumann. The piece was premiered in Copenhagen on April 3, 1869, by Edmund Neupert, who was said to have composed the cadenza of the first movement himself. Some sources say that Grieg himself, an excellent pianist, was intended to premiere the piece, but did not due to commitments with another orchestra. Notables such as Danish composer Niels Gade and Russian pianist Anton Rubinstein attended the premiere; the latter also provided his own piano for the performance. The piece is the first piano concerto ever recorded, by pianist Wilhelm Backhaus in 1909. Due to technology restraints, the work was heavily abridged. The first movement is in sonata form and finishes with a virtuosic cadenza.
Viola Concerto, BB 128 - Béla Bartók I. Moderato Bella Kim, Soloist
Béla Bartók is one of the most important composers and ethnomusicologists of the last century. In spite of his eminence in the world of music, Bartók’s life was marked by many hardships. Due to the rise of Nazis and worsening political situation in Hungary during WWII, he was pressured to flee the country in 1940. After moving to New York, Bartók faced more struggles. He suffered physical ailment and financial hardships, which followed him to his death in 1945. While in America, Bartók took on an unexpected project: his first and last viola concerto. The viola concerto came to be when William Primrose, a renowned violist, asked Bartók to compose a virtuosic piece for the viola in 1945. However, the piece was left unfinished when Bartók passed away with leukemia later that year. Because Bartók had left only preliminary designs of the piece, his friend, Tibor Serly, stepped up to complete a version of it. Still, Bartók’s enthusiasm for folk music is evident in the piece by the use of folksy melodies, chromaticism, and characteristic rhythm. The concerto operates on a central melody that is weaved throughout the piece. At the same

Highwood, IL 60040 (847) 926-9898 - mya.org - wmya.fm time, it contains surprises and breaks in pattern, such as sudden bursts of notes that interrupt lyrical moments. Melancholic, haunting, and energetic, Bartók’s viola concerto is one of his last masterpieces.
Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 - Jean Sibelius l. Allegro Moderato Esme Arias-Kim, Soloist
Sibelius always envisioned himself as a soloist. When he was fourteen, he said “the violin took me by storm, and for the next ten years it was my dearest wish, my overriding ambition, to become a great virtuoso”. This concerto, in a way, was Sibelius’s personal fulfillment, a concerto which highlighted both the ability of the soloist and the instrument. The opening of this piece begins with the light tip-toe of strings and the melody is sung by the solo violin. Very quickly on though, one realizes that the magical beginning will not stick around for long, as the rest of the orchestra joins in, creating a passionate allegro. This then segues into a cadenza where the solo violin stands on its own, and the cries of the instrument can be heard, almost resembling a person who is angry but also hurting internally. The orchestra then joins in again with many similar themes from the beginning, but then bubbles over into a fiery ending- to say it’s energetic and passionate would be an understatement.
