The first printing of the full orchestral score. One of the first pieces published by his Cos Cob Press established in 1928 by Copland and Alma Wertheim to promote the work of young composers. The work was commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Copland appeared as the soloist when it was first performed in 1927. The jazz influenced concerto was not a critical success and disappeared from the repetoire for almost 30 years before being "discovered" by Leonard Bernstein who made the first recording of it with Copland again performing the piano part (to critical acclaim).
