Medtner composed his majestic piano concerto in C minor (Op. 33) during World War 1. He finished the piano score in a year and spent two more years orchestrating the work (Medtner hated writing for orchestra). This video features a thematic breakdown of the music. The structure of the piece is a highliy original example of double function form:
00:00 EXPOSITION (functioning as 1st movement)
Motives & Themes: X, Y, A, A2, A3, B1, B2, AB
09:05 DEVELOPMENT (functioning as slow movement and schezo)
