A timpani piece with a “difference!” The first two movements exploit traditional timpani techniques in a musical fashion, with the emphasis on sensitive ensemble playing with the pianist. In the third movement, ‘Fandango’, both pianist and timpanist add sections of hand clapping and flamenco-style heel stomping. A real crowd-pleaser!

This concerto is destined to become one of the most important and often-performed works in the solo timpani literature.
