The piece is plain, evocative, amazing and undeniably Petronio." -Brian McCormick, Gay City Waves at My Back Choreography by Randy James Music: Bach (Concerto No. 1 in D minor) Premiered October 1998 for RJDW Bach's stirring Concerto in D minor for three pianos and string orchestra complements a highly physical dance for seven in three sections.
