The Burlesque for piano and chamber orchestra op. 13g
was commissioned by the Small Entertainment Orchestra Südwestfunk
Baden-Baden in 1956. The following year it was produced with this
orchestra under the direction of Willi Stech, who also took on the solo
part, for the SWF in Freiburg. The concise and witty concert piece is
beautifully orchestrated and characterized by brisk changes of time,
which are always calmed down by a little waltz melody.
