By the time Joachim Raff began composing works for solo instruments and
orchestra, he had been in Franz Liszt’s inner circle for several years
as a full participants in the Weimar avant-garde. Having been
intimately involved in the creation and orchestration of the earliest
versions of at least two of Liszt’s three formally-named piano
concerti, it is not surprising therefore, that Raff’s own first
concerto followed, in a general sort of way, Liszt’s model of
interconnected, thematically related movements.
