Work Overview
Chamber Concerto was written in Paris in 1982. The work is in four distinct sections which are interlinked, twice by outbursts from percussion and once by a vigorous dialogue between viola and cello. The slow movement is heard last, with high woodwind playing over the strings in their lower registers, and the piano oscillating slowly between them.
