Absolutely brilliant!
I heard the recording of Lior Eitan playing this piece back in 2002. I immediately fell in love with it! I asked if there was a piano edition ready and Mr. Dorman replied that he was still working on it. After months of practicing, I gave the premiere of the piccolo/piano reduction at the University of Florida in 2003 during my graduate recital. Since then, the work has increased in popularity, thanks to many prominent piccoloists who have discovered how wonderful of a concerto it really is. With the piccolo repertoire expanding every few years, this one definitely ranks up there with the best. Not for the beginning piccoloist at all, but every serious college student and professional will have a blast with the exciting technical passages and beauty of the slower movement. The piano part fits brilliantly but if you get a chance to perform the orchestral version, you must!
