Perfect romance between the piano and the orchestra may be a good definition for this radiant concertino, alternatively malicious or sentimental. Formed of 3 chained movements, each of them including an important cadence for the piano solo, this concertino beguin with an "allegro giocoso" spruce and light. Then occurs a "lento" with expressive theme exposed by the piano solo, followed by the successive inputs of varous instruments. The development jazzy ends by returning to the theme played in tutti grandiose and treated as a counterpoint. The third movement in ternary mode, happy and dancing like a tarentella, close blithely that lively dialogue.
Of a duration of 15 minutes "Mon ami piano" is a work accessible from a medium level" conservatory student, and has all advantages of seduction for a professional.
