This concerto was commissioned by
Brian Brown for the Warwickshire Schools’ String Orchestra and Simon
Beezley, who gave the first performance in Edinburgh in 1982. The
concerto is dedicated to the composer’s wife, Jane.
...a
light-hearted composition which shows off the playful, agile qualities
o the instrument, as well as its ability to express long languid
phrases beautifully.
