Composed by Max Warnecke. Arranged by Ronald Babcock. German 19th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2780).

Max Warnecke's Konzertstuck is characteristic of the nineteenth-century solo Trombone tradition. At six minutes in duration, it is considerably shorter than contemporary solos of the time such as the Grafe Concerto. Like the David Concertino it uses similar martial-style opening and closing themes with a lyrical middle section. The solo and piano accompaniment are of medium difficulty and appropriate for school recitals or professional performances.

Composed by Bela Bartok. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Hungarian National 20th century. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2566).

Bartok's Allegro Barbaro, composed in 1911 is one of his most famous solo piano works, written in his typical style using folk elements based on Hungarian Pentatonic and Romanian chromatic scales. The music has even been used on a composition by the Progressive rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer from their 1970 debut album.

Ralph Sauer's brilliant arrangement for Trombone and Piano is reminiscent of the famous Trombone passage from the Miraculous Mandarin ballet suite.

This 3 minute work is suitable for advanced performers.

Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2865).

Vocalise-etude (en forme de Habanera) was originally written for voice and is one more example of a French composer's fascination with the music of Spain. Ravel in particular was fond of this Habanera style, having included it in several of his works. This music also may have been composed as a study for students at the Paris Conservatory.
Ravel includes virtuosic runs and portamento effects which Mr. Sauer has effectively used in his fine arrangement for Tenor Trombone.
The work of about 3 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.
