Arioso and Allegro (Piano) - Fiocco arr.Wilby & Childs |
||
|
Joseph Hector Fiocco (1703-41) was the most famous member of a family of Belgian musicians. As well as being a church musician, Joseph was a violin maker, professor of Latin and Greek, and a distinguished harpsichord player.
His famous allegro, originally written for harpsichord, lies well for the euphonium. It requires a steady tempo throughout its compass and dynamic range, and is ideal for improving technique and stamina.
The lyrical arioso demands well-shaped phrases and fine breath control.
