Playbill Arts, April 17, 2006 — Yehudi Wyner has won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his piano concerto Chiavi in Mano, Columbia University announced today.

The concerto was premiered by the Boston Symphony, with Robert Levin as soloist, on February 17, 2005. ...

In a review of the premiere performance, Boston Globe critic Richard Dyer wrote, "The allusions—not quotations—range from Baroque briskness through Prokofievian percussive motor rhythms to torch song, jazz, rock, and honky-tonk with washboard accompaniment, all viewed through the lens of a personal, flexible, and highly chromatic musical language."
