DOROTHY MANLEY (Pianoforte) and Orchestra DELIUS'S 'Pianoforte Concerto was first written in 1897 (when the Composer was thirty-four) during a trip to Florida, where Delius once had an orange plantation. The work was re-written some ten years later, the original three Movements being condensed into one. Its construction is simple. The first section contains several themes, the treatment of which is very clear. A slow section is linked to this, and after it, the themes of the opening section are represented with new harmonies and different orchestration. The Concerto ends with a short, brilliant coda.
