v. 1. Score (197 p.) -- v. 2. Analysis (29 leaves) / Curio Shop is a concerto for piano and chamber orchestra. It is composed for an ensemble of fifteen performers: piano solo, flute (doubling on piccolo), oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, percussion, two violins, viola, cello, and contrabass. / It is composed as a suite of short movements, scored for the full ensemble, interspersed with interludes composed as duos for piano and one other instrument. The accompanying paper discusses the form of the work along with some of its historical precedents. Further topics include the use of tonality in the work, the variation techniques used in composing the interludes, and a discussion of compositional procedures used in a single movement along with examples of their application in other movements.
