Steven Bryant wrote about his fantastic piano concerto:
"The Concerto for Piano, commissioned by Pamela Mia Paul, is constructed from a single motive: set of descending dyads taken from the opening of Bruce Hornsby’s song “Every Little Kiss” from the album, “The Way It Is.” While I’d taken piano lessons for a few years as a small child, by the time I was in Junior High School, I’d lost interest in playing (well, practicing, to be honest). Hornsby’s playing on this album lured me back to the piano in order to learn and transcribe some of the songs, and thus catalyzed my fascination with composing. Looking back, I can point to that moment as a launching point for my compositional career, so it seemed appropriate to use a tiny cell from his music as the genesis of this work."
Scored for orchestral winds and percussion, the instrumentation is suitable for both symphony orchestras and wind ensembles.
