Seeing (composition)

Seeing is a concerto for solo piano and orchestra by the American composer Christopher Rouse. The work was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic for pianist Emanuel Ax, with financial contributions from philanthropists Lillian and Maurice Barbash. It was premiered at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City May 6, 1999, with Leonard Slatkin conducting Emanuel Ax and the New York Philharmonic. The piece is dedicated to Emanuel Ax.

Composition

The piece has a duration of roughly 28 minutes and is composed in four connected sections, similar to the form of a traditional concerto.

Style and influences

The composition freely quotes passages from Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto. Rouse wrote of this in the score program notes:

The title of the piece comes from the song "Seeing" in the Moby Grape album Moby Grape '69. Rouse saw the album while browsing through his collection of rock music and "was struck by the combination of simplicity and vision symbolized by this title." Rouse used this to extrapolate the conception of the work, later writing:
