About

George Lloyd writes: "In 1970 I had just finished by Ninth Symphony and I was in a cheerful but slightly ironical mood. I started by Fourth Piano Concerto with the idea of doing something quite different from the first three, which were all deep, serious works. I used a smaller orchestra with only woodwinds in pairs, three horns, two trumpets, two trombones, one percussion player and strings. The first movement alternates between jerky, rhythmic sections and a long singing tune. The second movement is the key to the whole works; the main melody is a development of one of the ideas of the first movement. The finale is lively and bright with the coloring mostly in a high key."
