40. =====Martis Observatio in Leone (2012)===== for piano and chamber orchestra\\ {{ :martisobservatio.png}} (1 Fl, 1 Ob, 1 Cl, 1 Bs, 2 Hns, 1 Tpt, 1 Tbn, 5 Vln I, 5 Vln II, 5 Vla, 4 Vc, 2 Cb, 1 perc.)\\ \\ This is a small piano concerto for a rather moderate-sized orchestra. It was inspired by my observations of the planet Mars during its aphelic opposition to Earth in the first months of 2012 (and also - guilty as charged - by some readings of Edgar Rice Burroughs's //A Princess of Mars//). \\ ---- \\ | **score:**[[this>lib/exe/fetch.php?media=pdfs:martisobservatio_v2.pdf|{{ :pdficon.gif}}]] !-| **recording:** {{mp3play>:mp3s:martisobservatio.mp3}}-! | \\
