Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Folk. Score and parts. 10 pages. David Warin Solomons #2026785. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.575664).

This sequence and melody was inspired by a poem written by a friend called Otto Wanke, who was going through the teenage angst of splitting up with the first girl he loved. The title (Feuer und Wasser = Fire and Water) refers to the idea that these two elements are incompatible, but the music (in minor mode with occasional hints of Dorian) is a simple lament rather than a musical description of the elements in question. The music was originally written as a song for alto voice with classical guitar accompaniment (to which I have added an English singing translation). It has since been rearranged for various instruments with guitar (cor anglais, flute, clarinet, viola, violin) and also as a more sophisticated version for flute quartet and for wind quartet. In all cases the pdf file contains score and parts. The sound samples are electronic previews, except the original song which is performed by the composer. All of these versions are available here - just search for Feuer und Wasser.

Composed by C.M. von Weber (1786-1826). Arranged by Klas Krantz. Concert,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 2 pages. Amadeus Music #12771. Published by Amadeus Music (A0.531783).

Carl Maria von Weber (1786 –1826) was a German composer, conductor, pianist, guitarist and critic, one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school. This Romanze is very similar to Sicilienne in E-flat major by M.T. von Paradis. It is however spurious, as it is believed to have been composed by its purported discoverer, Samuel Dushkin, who probably used Weber's Romanze an inspiration for his composition.
