Item Number: CY.CC2907
Sibelius wrote the five-minute "Romance" in 1903 for string orchestra, originally titling it "Andante". However he was persuaded to change the name about five years later by a critic's review. In 1903, Sibelius was still composing in a Romantic style, not the austere sounds heard later-on after he composed the 4th Symphony.
Romance is made up of three sections; a slow Andante, a faster middle section and a slow third section. Mr. Sauer has distilled the music down to a lovely solo for Euphonium and Piano.
This crowd-pleaser will work well for advanced performers.
Parts are supplied for Bass and Treble clef readers.
