Trombone and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2646

Composed by Jean Sibelius. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Finnish Nationalism Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2646).

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 Trombone and Piano. This crowd-pleaser will work well for advanced performers.
