Here it is arranged for three Violas by Lionel Tertis. / Ensemble A Cordes Et Alto

Par ROPARTZ. Considered as one of the hardest works for solo Trombone, Piece in Eb minor by Joseph Guy Ropartz is a mix of Romantic and Impressionist influences. This piece requires a strong endurance: the second part starting after the half of the first page shows the hardest run, when most players would already start lacking of endurance! Great piece for recitals and exams for advanced players, …

Par LISZT FRANZ. In summer 1881 Franz Liszt composed a work that he called “ Valse Oubliée ” (Forgotten waltz) in a letter to his publisher. The work is reminiscent of the appealing Piano waltzes that the composer usedto write when he was younger – although there is a certain distance to the usual waltz style. Liszt by no means renounces virtuosity and elegance, but rather infuses these characteri…

Clara Schumann was one of the first to be allowed to get to know the new pieces, and she attested that they contained 'a wealth of sentiment in the smallest of dimensions?. Philipp Spitta fittingly said that the works were 'perfect …

When Beethoven visited the director of music at the cathedral in Linz, Franz Xaver Glöggl, in autumn 1812, the latter asked his guest to 'compose socalled Equali for 4 trombones for All Souls' Day [2 November]?. Beethoven readily complied - and it was to be his own funeral music. For in 1827 the Equali were sung in an arrangement for male choir as a 'dirge for Beethoven's funeral procession?. The …

Singin' In The Rain was already a classic before it featured in the famous 1952 Gene Kelly film musical - Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown wrote it in the 1920s when many artists recorded it, but more notably Cliff Edwards enjoyed success from his recording in 1929. Now forever associated with Kelly's puddle-splashing routine and more recently reprised in stage adaptations, Singin' In The Rain re…
