Description
A timpani concerto written by a master timpanist is a rarity, indeed, and, Kraft's Concerto No. 1 has become the go-to solo for timpanists who get to step out front. with its 5 timpani set, the use of a variety of beaters and gloves expands the soloist's palette. The second movement is dedicated to, Kraft's mother, who died during its composition; it is subtitled "Poem for Timpani, Two String Orchestras, Celeste, and Percussion," and the strings are divided antiphonally. We are pleased to make this piano reduction available.
