These are
fifteen short, but
intense works by Leos
Janacek. This music is
indeed a great gift to
the Euphonium solo
literature by Mr.
Sauer.
These
pieces can be performed
by intermediate to
advanced performers and
are about 9 minutes total
in length.
Below
are a few notes from the
arrangement by Ralph
Sauer.
Originall
y for solo piano, the
Fifteen Moravian
Folksongs are remarkable
for their musicality as
well as their brevity -
the only notated,
repeated passage in the
entire work is in Number
5. Because Janacek
included the text in his
piano score (with no
indication that it should
be sung), and the fact
that there are, in many
cases, indications that
the text is only a first
verse, I have included
some additional
repeats.
The mp3
sound sample is from a
recital at the 2012 Music
Academy of the West in
Santa Barbara.
Performance by Ralph
Sauer, trombone and
Natasha Kislenko,
piano.
