Nope , you have only established that it is op 2. It is in fact no 7 in C minor not no 1

Not the Schoenberg piano concerto perchance?

Unfortunately not so. But in a way we are glad to find at last that even Mr. Sudden is not infallible!

I would reckon it to be the Piano Concerto by Mr Elliott Carter of New York City, NY.

Exactly so. It is old Mr. Carter in 1965, at a time when he was in the full flow of his inspiration. Yet he was ahead of his time, for as the admirable Mr. Lebrecht tells us the work at first "strained the tolerance of players and conductors when so little aural reward was repaid for such intellectual and manual effort." To-day - what a contrast! - it is welcomed praised and applauded all over the musical world.

Hurrah! I think the problem with early audiences for Mr Carter's concerto was that he was writing in what many in his American audiences would have thought of as an abstrusely "European" style, which did indeed result in his music being for many years more widely accepted in Old Europe than in the New World.

Hmm. I did find a clip of op 2/1 and listen to it and thought it sounded pretty much like your excerpt but I see I should have checked. This "classical music" all sounds the same to me after all! Roll Eyes

Yes, so do the 21st century pieces I have heard lately. Grin

This may be something of an overstatement, to say the least.

Is 158 perhaps from Britten's War Requiem?

You really don't know Britten's work, do you richard. It is not his War Requiem, nor is it anything by him. Wink
