Composition and premiere

Aria, Ciaccona & Vivace takes approximately 15 minutes to perform.[3][4] The single pieces were originally written for orchestra and in the piano version they are placed in a new dramaturgical context.[1]

German pianist Anna-Maria Maak gave the world premiere performance on March 22, 2019, during the ‘Town Hall Concert Serie’ (Rathauskonzerte) in Torgau (Germany).[1][2][3][4] It represented the last world premiere in the lifetime of the renowned composer.[7][8]

Reception

On March 26, 2019, Georg Frackowiak, music critic of the newspaper Torgauer Zeitung wrote about the premiere of the work: "Composition, arrangement and performance were equally convincing, with the pianistic ability of the interpreter arousing total admiration...".[1]

About the new composition, Maak said: "It’s a wonderful piano music, pianistically adapted in a very appropriate way. Making Penderecki's exciting musical language accessible to pianists is a real asset!".[1]
