Trombone and piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2565

Composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Arranged by Robert Trevarthen. Classical. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2565).

Haydn composed over 100 compositions, each in three movements, for his wealthy employer Nicolas Esterhazy, who played the six-string instrument called a Baryton, which in shape looked much like our modern day cello, but, of course, with six rather the cello four strings. His original scores were composed of three lines: the solo part, an inner filler part for viola and a bass part. I have realized the piano part. These transcriptions were created to give the solo trombonist an experience with classical music.

The music is in an elegant style and a joy to perform as arranged by Mr. Trevarthen.

The six works included in the collection are as follows:
No. 2 in G (Theme and Variations)
No. 26 in F
No. 49 in F
No. 55 in F
No. 77 in F
No. 95 in B-flat

The works are between 6 and 9 minutes in length each and suitable for moderately advanced performers.

Tenor Trombone and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2494

Composed by Alexander Scriabin. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Russian. Solo part and piano score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2494).

Alexander Scriabin's music has been described as mystical, lyrical and idiosyncratic. He was a most innovative and controversial early modern Russian composer. His works were ignored for many years until recently and are now seen as sincere expression(s) of genius.

The Three Etudes for Trombone 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 brought three wonderful new works for advanced performers who wish to explore this area, largely unknown to the Trombone world. Those who do will be richly rewarded with the depth of musicanship found in these works.

Trombone and piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2582

Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2582).

One of the greatest works of the French impressionist era, Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy evokes mystery, stillness, lyricism, finesse, sensuality, nature, dreams and desires. Taken from a poem by Stephane Mallarme this work is considered by some to be a turning point of musical history as an awakening of modern music as it stretches the limits of tonality. The work was later choreographed in 1912 by Nijinsky.

This marvelous arrangement by Ralph Sauer is appropriate for advanced performers and is about 10 minutes in length.
