Composed by Richard Wagner. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic solo with Piano. Solo part & Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2397).

Ralph Sauer has arranged a marvelous song by Wagner called the Arrival of the Black Swans or Ankunft be den schwarzen Schwanen for Trombone and Piano.

Arrival of the Black Swans by Richard Wagner was originally written for solo piano in 1861 and first published in 1897. A somber opening is followed by a moving middle section, reminiscent of passages from Lohengrin.

This song is in Wagner's romantic style and is for moderately advanced performers. Length of the song is about 4.5 minutes & includes Tenor Clef for the Trombone part.

By Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Arranged by Jonathan Robbins. For Trombone solo and piano accompaniment. Set of parts

Composed by Franz Liszt. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2863).

Liszt composed the Romance oubliee around 1844 for Piano. It was forgotten until he heard Violist Hermann Ritter at the first performance of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at Bayreuth. He fashioned for Ritter a transcription of the work for Viola and Piano as well as ones for the Piano, Violin and Violoncello.
In this short work, the listener hears the agonies of a troubled soul, beginning with a rhapsodic passage, continuing with a cadenza-like section, then a section with arpeggiated figures, finally settling into a peaceful ending.
This 4 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers. With Mr. Sauer's arrangement we now have this lovely version for Trombone and Piano.

Composed by Vincent d'Indy. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Impressionist. Solo part & Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2404).

Paul Marie Theodore Vincent d'Indy was born in Paris into an aristocratic family of royalist and Catholic persuasion. He had piano lessons from an early age from his paternal grandmother, who passed him on to Antoine Francois Marmontel and Louis Diemer. His main influence was Cesar Franck.

These three pieces were some of his many works for Piano.

Opus 33 was inspired by a trip to Bayreuth, the musical home of Wagner and the Black Forest region.

Opus 33 no. 1 from 1889 is titled ? with no explanation of itself. Opus 33 no. 10 is titled Lermoos, which is a delightful skiing village in Austria right on the border with Germany. Germany's largest mountain is in perfect view, possibly giving the movement its spirit.

Opus 28 is a Serenade for Violin and Piano published in 1900. It is lithe, subtle and lyrical.
