Orig
inally written for Cello,
Ralph Sauer's brilliant
arrangement of the
Pergolesi Sinfonia
(Sonata) for Trombone and
Piano (or Harpsichord)
has become a standard
work in the solo
repertoire. This new
edition which replaces
the previous one comes
with some notable
changes. Below is Mr.
Sauer's
description.
This new
edition of the Pergolesi
Sinfonia in F is an
update of the original
version which was first
published 40 years ago
(!) and is now
permanently out of print.
Movements one, two, and
three are essentially the
same. I have corrected a
few errors in the
keyboard part and also
revised some of the
notationâ€â€
notably, grace notes are
now placed correctly.
(The original publisher
insisted that they should
be placed after barlines,
causing confusion as to
whether they were to be
played on the beat or
before the beat.)
In
the last movement, there
are now two places where
the keyboard takes over
the solo line. In
addition to providing
much needed rest for the
trombonist, it gives a
change of color and a
chance for the keyboard
player to be the soloist
for a few
measures.
The
original version of the
last movement is also
included as an appendix
for those who would
rather perform the
original.
