sonata nr 1 by domenico gabrielli 1 euphonium & piano (print) Boreas (north wind)

Boreas (north wind)

This solo work for euphonium and piano was composed in 2019 and is dedicated to my daughter Rina

-El paño moruno

It is hoped that this arrangement will allow performers and audiences alike to experienceBeethoven's masterful variation writing from a fresh perspective while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original composition

It was my intention to keep the musical style very clear and simple so that it would make a nice contribution to the solo repertoire of performers of all levels

sonata nr 1 by domenico gabrielli 1 euphonium & piano (print) Boreas (north wind)This extraordinary four movement work lends itself beautifully for the study of Italian Baroque music. Gabrielli was one of the first composers to write substantial music for solo cello. This work is from around 1680 and follows the typical slow fast slow fast structure. Gabrielli's music is full of contrast; lyrical expressiveness changes with exciting question and answer motifs.
