This excursion into atonality is unlike any other one that I've ever listened to. The phrases 'random walk' or 'theory of entropy' come to mind. I do like Rodion Shchedrin's contexts here, which seem to depict a fusion between anarchy and jazz, with some minimalist tendencies. The totality of this hybird piece is delightful to listen to and a musical experiment of the first rank. Thank you for this post.
Hardly. There are 10 or more "avant garde" composers that come to mind for the specific genre of Piano Concerto, not to mention numerous genres where Schedrin is either thin or non existent. That said this is a great composer and this particular piece lands squarely amongst the masterpieces of atonal composition beginning with Schoenberg's 1942 "classic." Listen to, for example, Henze, Maderna and Carter for other non traditional works in the genre.
I think there's supposed to be a quotation from Tschaykovsky's First Concerto for Piano at some point in this concerto or in Shchedrin's No. 3. The piano plays the theme from Movement 1 as the orchestra rumbles on in utter confusion. I can't find it though. Any ideas?
Nice atonal work. Truthfully I thought he worked in a more traditional idiom. Count me in. Apparently his later works are atonal even some aleatory - who knew?

This should be the most well-known avant-garde composer.

Bits of Bartok, Honegger. Uncompromisingly modern, without dollops of romantic mush.
