The songs and dances of the Americas, born in the mountains, jungles, rivers, and plains, under the shadow of pyramids and temples, nourished by the winds and the ocean waves of adventur, courage, suffering, and endurance, finally grew up in the cities of the New Continent. And, ironically, they conquered the collective soul of the whole earth. This concerto was inspired by those pianists (Scott Joplin, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Horacio Salgan, Luis Eca, and many others) who changed the face of popular music in the Americas. Like the great Romantic virtuoso-composers (I think of Chopin with his mazurkas, waltzes, and impromptus), their ideas and their fingers became one single entity, one unique form of musical expression. Movements: I. Blues, II. Tango, III. Carnival.
