The beloved classical trumpet concertos of Haydn and Hummel, and the horn concertos of Mozart, are performed more often than any other concertos for brass instruments. Young euphonium and baritone students may hear these works and aspire to perform them or something in a similar style, but may have difficulty finding something suitable. Festive Piece in Classical Style may be just what they're looking for. While composed in 2023, every effort has been made to compose this in a true classical style. Memorable lyrical melodies, legato, staccato, and marcato passages, dynamic variety, and traditional harmonies, while requiring only limited range demands, make this an outstanding choice for someone seeking to perform an intermediate-level classical-style solo. The top note is a concert G that occurs only once and an optional lower note is provided for any who might need it. While composed originally for trumpet, the composer feels this works equally well on euphonium. The piano accompaniment is accessible to advanced intermediate pianists. Bass Clef and Treble Clef solo parts are provided. This solo would likely be classified on the easier side of a 4.
