ted wilks, thanks for the information on the composer and his involvement in the U.S. Navy. As a history buff I enjoy just discoveries.

For those who are unfamiliar with this polymath, John William Middendorf II (born September 22, 1924) is a former Republican United States diplomat and Secretary of the Navy. He is also a prolific composer with several symphonies and 100 marches to his credit. The Wikipedia article on him gives more information. Thank you, Corentin, for uploading this piano concerto, which is mostly in the Romantic style despite the fact that it was composed in the early 1970s. Ted

This is more classical than Romantic, I think.

Whilst it's interesting to discover new works, it's rewarding when you find one of greater musical value than you already know. Sadly, this isn't one of them.
