Euphonium,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.792635 Composed by Alexander Borodin. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Period. Score and part. 12 pages. Gordon Cherry #5043701. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792635). The Petite Suite, published in 1885, is Borodin's major work for the Piano and originally comprised of seven movements.  Mr. Sauer's arrangement incorporates three of them: Intermezzo, Rêverie and Sérénade.  The Petite Suite was dedicated to the Belgian Countess Louise de Mercy-Argenteau, who was a supporter of Borodin and his music.  After Borodin's death in 1887, Glazunov orchestrated the Suite. The music has that Eastern flavor so indicative of Borodin's melodies, mysterious, lyrical and subtle.  Advanced performers will enjoy this work of almost 7 minutes which has been so beautifully arranged by Mr. Sauer.

Euphonium,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.792457 Composed by Alexander Borodin. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century,Opera,Romantic Period,World. Score and part. 16 pages. Gordon Cherry #4988117. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792457). Alexander Borodin was actually trained as a chemist and physician and spent a good deal of his time promoting womens’ issues, much to the consternation of his fellow composers who wound up finishing up much of his work after his sudden death at the age of 53. The opera Prince Igor is possibly his greatest and boldest work with many beautiful melodies coming forth, especially the Chorus and Dance of the Polovetsain Maidens from Act II. The music has an mysterious Eastern sound which is very captivating.There is nothing like this written for the Euphonium and Mr. Sauer’s arrangement is wonderful.This work is about 7 minutes in length for advanced performers.
