About this arrangement

Euphonium Solo and Piano - Grade 5 SKU: AP.36-10540295 Composed by Robert Schumann. Arranged by Paul Droste. Ludwig Masters. Book. LudwigMasters Publications #36-10540295. Published by LudwigMasters Publications (AP.36-10540295). UPC: 660355002144. English.The arranger was searching for a major work by a significant composer when these pieces for violoncello and piano, composed by Robert Schumann in 1849, were discovered. To lessen the range and tessitura problems for the euphonium, the pitch was lowered a major second and short rests were inserted where the solo part consisted of non-essential harmonic material. A few idiomatic string passages were rewritten to fit euphonium technique. In addition, all or any part of this solo can be effectively performed by the advanced trombonist. Although the pieces vary in technical difficulty, all require sensitivity and endurance. Because of the lack of advanced euphonium literature from this period of music, the publisher feels that these fine pieces make a welcome and much needed addition to the brass repertoire. These products are currently being prepared by a new publisher. While many items are ready and will ship on time, some others may see delays of several months.
