by William Kraft
TimpaniOrchestra20th CenturyConcerto~21 minprofessional
A landmark work in the percussion concerto repertoire, composed in 1983 for timpanist Mitchell Peters. Kraft exploits the tonal and rhythmic range of the instrument across three movements, demanding rapid retuning and complex coordination with the orchestra. The concerto remains one of the most challenging and celebrated works for orchestral timpani as soloist.
