Zigeunerweisen - Sarasate arr.Wilby & Childs |
||
|
Published as part of the popular Virtuosi Collection - a wide-ranging series of carefully edited arrangements for euphonium and piano, in which the solo parts have been meticulously prepared for performance on a brass instrument - this is perhaps Sarasate's most celebrated work. Sarasate composed romances, fantasies, and made transcriptions of Spanish airs calculated to show off his great virtuosity. Zigeunerweisen, which translates as Gypsy Airs, is one of these show-cases.
This arrangement encompasses the extremes of the gypsy temperament.
