Concert Fantasy

Op.62 1983

David Hellewell

Dedicated to John Brogden.

This piece was initially inspired by Chopin’s Revolutionary Study, but, as in all Hellewell’s music, it’s no modern copy, but a new and highly original composition of high-powered virtuosity and complex rhythmic and dynamic changes, ranging over a wide variety of moods and idioms, from dramatic flights of tinkling fantasy to passionate power blocks and ‘fractured’ classical sequences. It is truly is a ‘Concert Fantasy’ of interacting forms and idioms , offering the listener a new, yet familiar, unique and exciting musical experience.
