I love the smaller and more intimate format that a Concertino gives me as a composer. It provides both the solo instrument and the string orchestra enough space to tease and grow. 

So the first thing I composed when I got back to composing was a concertino.

My Concertinos Until Now (August 2024)

• Clarinet Concertino - Solictice (2022)

• Viola Concertino No. I (2023)

• Violoncello Concertino - 'In To The Silence And Out Of The Darkness' (2023)

• Piano Concertino No. I (2023-24)

• Guitar Concertino - ‘The Early Morning Dew’ (2024) 

• Concertino For Organ, Timpani And Strings (2023-?) (Only first movement is finished)

• I’ve started on concertinos for:

  • Flute

  • Oboe

  • Basson

  • Horn

These instruments I have ideas for:

• Trumpet

• Trombone

• Tuba

• Harp

• Harpsichord

• Contrabass

• Nyckelharpa (Swedish traditional instrument)

• Percussion

It’s pretty exciting to look at this list, I feel so inspired! I only hope I can fulfill my dream to compose a concertino for each instrument.
