The piece is scored for solo
piano, accompanied by
string orchestra. Several recordings of the concerto have been made. The concerto is in three movements, the middle being the longest. An analysis by musicologist student Wilhelm Delport in 2015 rediscovered that the first and third movements borrow heavily from a Tyrolean
Volkslied named,
Maria! Hilf mir doch! (de), found in the
Tyrolean Music Archive catalogue number A7249. He also determined that the second composition is likely an expansion of the piece
Raising the Sail from the
motion picture soundtrack to
The Truman Show (1998), which Glass also composed a few years earlier. ==References==
