In 1849 Robert Schumann completed a set of Romantic character pieces for piano which he named Forest Scenes. One of that set was called Roadside Inn, which I have arranged for Instrumental Solo with Piano Accompaniment. In keeping with the characteristics of the Romantic period my arrangement is full of contrasts and constant shifts between dynamics, articulations, and themes. I took themes and fragments of themes from the original and re-ordered them into a bit of a rondo form. There are interpretive marks in every measure making it a great piece for auditions to show your technique and interpretation. Not too difficult to play but sounds quite advanced when all details are observed. Another feature is the beautiful harmonic interplay between the solo and accompaniment. To be played warmly and with passion to welcome people to your Roadside Inn.  
2 1/2 minutes, 5 page score, 2 page solo part

Robert Schumann (June 8, 1810 – July 29, 1856) was a German composer, pianist, and influential music critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. The piece speaks of the blooming of a lotus flower, who hides from the sun and only reveals herself at night to her lover, the moon.

There are three movements in Fantasy Pieces that make up Robert Schumann’s Opus 73. Completed in 1849, he linked each piece harmonically.  He directs the performers to follow on to the next section, indicating that these movements were intended as a whole.

From a mood of delicate expression, through eloquent and lively to fiery and urgent, this is a compelling and intriguing work. The Fantasy Pieces are full of Romanticism and thoughtfulness to make it an important and entertaining work.

This version has been skillfully arranged for Tenor Trombone and Piano by Ralph Sauer, formerly Principal Trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

The Five Pieces in Folk Style by Schumann were originally written for Cello and Piano. They have been expertly transcribed for Tenor Trombone by Ralph Sauer, retired Principal Trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  The 5 movements are in contrasting styles and work very well for Trombone.  Schumann was considered the Poet of the Romantics.  This music is expressive and full of robust and elegant phrases.  For moderately advanced performers.  The complete work is almost 17 minutes in length and can be a major work on your concert.
