...more, he even provides a dramatic script for this concerto. An individual (the piano) is influenced by society (the orchestra), learns that it is being misled, and ends up alienated and alone. Piano and orchestra converse in different chords like different dialects and at different tempos; swatches of sound appear in what seem desultory then frantic patterns; and at times the script calls for practically the whole Boston Symphony to damp down the valiant lone pianist, Jacob Lateiner-which seems particularly unfair since he (with a grant from the Ford Foundation) commissioned the work in the first place...
