Concerto for Piano and Orchestra

Concerto for Piano and Orchestra is a piano concerto by Armenian-born Soviet composer Aram Khachaturian, composed in 1936. The work pairs virtuosic, percussive piano writing with colourful orchestral textures and rhythmic vitality drawn from folk and dance influences, and it occupies a prominent place in Khachaturian's early output as a piece that helped secure his reputation within Soviet concert repertoire.
