Ajoutée par alfredo17, 07 Jui 2020 Jacques Offenbach (1819 – 1880) was born in Germany, but spent most of his life in Paris. He is considered to be the inventor of the modern musical comedy and composed more than 100 pieces for the stage. Less known is his activity as an outstanding cellist. Already in the age of 15 he started his first position as a cellist in the Opera Comique in Paris and soon he became known as a cello soloist. Later he played together with famous musicians of his time like Anton Rubinstein or Franz Liszt. Offenbach wrote 75 compositions for the cello. Among his works for cello and piano is the elegy ‘Les larmes de Jacqueline’ , composed in 1853 for cello and piano. This beautiful music can be played well on the clarinet or the basset horn. Here we present an arrangement for basset horn and piano. The piano part is not changed by the arrangement, the piano part e.g. by Offenbach Edition Keck from Boosey & Hawkes can be used. |
