| '''Concerto for Solo Piano''' ({{lang-fr|Concerto pour piano seul}}) is a 3-movement solo piano piece written by [[Charles-Valentin Alkan]]. The pieces are part of a 12 piece cycle entitled ''Douze études dans tous les tons mineurs'' (12 Studies in the Minor Keys), published in 1857 (although it may have been written some years earlier). With sections marked "Tutti", "Solo" and "Piano", the piece requires the soloist to present the voices of both the orchestra and the soloist. The pianist [[Jack Gibbons]] comments: "The style and form of the music take on a monumental quality—rich, thickly set textures and harmonies ... conjure up the sound world of a whole orchestra and tax the performer, both physically and mentally, to the limit."<ref>{{Cite web|title=About Alkan|url=http://www.jackgibbons.com/alkan.htm|access-date=2020-11-12|website=www.jackgibbons.com}}</ref> | '''Concerto for Solo Piano''' ({{lang-fr|Concerto pour piano seul}}) is a 3-movement solo piano piece written by [[Charles-Valentin Alkan]].

| The work features [[progressive tonality]], beginning in [[G-sharp minor|G{{music|sharp}} minor]] and ending in [[F-sharp minor|F{{music|sharp}} minor]]; this is a consequence of the piece being three consecutive elements of the cycle of 12 études, each of which is in a key a [[perfect fourth]] higher than its predecessor. | The work features [[progressive tonality]], beginning in [[G-sharp minor|G{{music|sharp}} minor]] and ending in [[F-sharp minor|F{{music|sharp}} minor]]; this is a consequence of the piece being three consecutive elements of the cycle of 12 études, each of which is in a key a [[perfect fourth]] higher than its predecessor. |
