SKU: CY.CC2496

Composed by Alexander Scriabin. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Russian. Solo part and piano score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2496).

* Alexander Scriabin's music has been described as mystical, lyrical and idiosyncratic. * He was a most innovative and controversial early modern Russian composer. * Scriabin's works were ignored for many years until recently and are now seen as sincere expression(s) of genius. * The Three Etudes for Euphonium and Piano are early works of Scriabin, originally written for solo Piano. * They show lyricism, passion, moodiness, chromatic harmonies and great expression. * Mr. Sauer has once again arranged three wonderful new works for advanced performers who wish to explore Scriabin's music, largely unknown to the Euphonium world. * Those who do will be richly rewarded with the great depth of musicianship found in these works. * The three movements are about 9-10 in length and suitable for advanced performers.

A Short Sonata is a work written at around Grade 8 standard for euphonium and piano. In each of the work's three movements, different qualities of the instrument are utilised and explored. In the first movement, an Allegro in 6/8 time, these qualities are the instrument's general agility, and its ability to play fast-moving melodies in a way that drives the music forward. Throughout, different ways of phrasing similar material are used to create interest and a varied sound. In the second, slow movement, the resonant and majestic way in which the euphonium can deliver lyrical melodic lines is explored. The movement is made up of four long phrases which peak dynamically at the third, giving room for interpretation and feeling. The third movement exploits the instrument's ability to play loudly and aggressively, using lots of accented notes, hairpin crescendos and quick double-tonguing.

A Short Sonata was the winner of the first Stainer & Bell Award for Brass Composition, held at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff in May 2010.

Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Gordon Cherry. Romantic. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2559).

Beethoven's Romance in F Opus 50 has been a staple of Violinists for over 210 years, having been written in 1798. The F-major Romance is a tender, adagio cantabile movement full of beauty, requiring grace, poise and elegance to perform properly. It has been said that it could have been titled Song Without Words, the music being so lyrical of character. 'Romance' may have been written as a slow movement to a Violin Concerto that was never completed. This arrangement by Gordon Cherry is a wonderful addition to the Euphonium repertoire.

A lmost 10 minutes in length, this work for advanced performers will be a great addition to any recital.

Then, beginning at age 16, Lalo studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Berlioz's old enemy François Antoine Habeneck. For several years, he worked as a string player and teacher in Paris. In 1848, he joined with friends to found the Armingaud Quartet, playing viola and second violin. Lalo's earliest surviving compositions are songs and chamber works.

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 François 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.
