Century Rolls - for Piano and Orchestra Full Score - John Adams - Boosey & Hawkes Full Score Score

This three-movement work was premiered in 1996 by the Cleveland Orchestra, with Emmanuel Ax as soloist. 28-30 minutes. In the composer's words: “The concerto takes a kind of polymorphous-perverse pleasure in the whole past century of piano music, both popular and classical.” The original inspiration was in the old piano roll music of the 1920s.
