Composer’s Note: As the title Incantation and Allegro indicates, this work has two very different moods. The first movement is slow, lyrical and somewhat magical sounding. It ends with a solo texture in the piano which moves attaca into the second movement. The allegro remains fast throughout, with a tonal rhythmic texture in the piano and lyrical lines in the oboe and bassoon. —N.G.
