Composed by Jules Massenet. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Romantic. Solo part and accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2829).

Massenet's Three Pieces for Piano, Four Hands Opus 11 was published in 1867. Two of the pieces were adapted for Cello in 1877. Mr. Sauer has arranged these two pieces for Trombone and Piano:
1.  Andante sostenuto
2. Allegretto vivo scherzando
The Andante is flowing and lyrical and the Allegretto is a lively 6/8 dance in A-B-A form.
The two movements total about 5 minutes and are appropriate for advanced performers.

Composed by Max Warnecke. Arranged by Ronald Babcock. German 19th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2780).

Max Warnecke's Konzertstuck is characteristic of the nineteenth-century solo Trombone tradition. At six minutes in duration, it is considerably shorter than contemporary solos of the time such as the Grafe Concerto. Like the David Concertino it uses similar martial-style opening and closing themes with a lyrical middle section. The solo and piano accompaniment are of medium difficulty and appropriate for school recitals or professional performances.

ISBN 9790530057803.

Tchaikovsky composed Souvenir d'un lieu cher Op. 42 in 1878 for Violin and Piano. Melodie is the third of three movements of this lovely work. Later, in 1884 the movements were published separately and eventually Glazunov arranged the three movements for Violin and orchestra.
The music is poetic, expressive, joyous and refreshing with a wink or two. Professor Mixdorf has beautifully arranged this 3-minute work for advanced performers.

Composed by Jean Sibelius. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Finnish Nationalism Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2646).

Sibelius wrote the five-minute Romance in 1903 for string orchestra, originally titling it Andante. However he was persuaded to change the name about five years later by a critic's review. In 1903, Sibelius was still composing in a Romantic style, not the austere sounds heard later-on after he composed the 4th Symphony. Romance is made up of three sections; a slow Andante, a faster middle section and a slow third section. Mr. Sauer has distilled the music down to a lovely solo for Trombone and Piano. This crowd-pleaser will work well for advanced performers.

Composed by Alexander Glazunov. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Russian 20th Century. Solo part and accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2827).

Young Glazunov had the special opportunity to meet Franz Liszt in 1884 while on a tour of Europe arranged by his publisher. Liszt was very impressed with the young Glazunov and arranged to have his 1st Symphony performed in Weimar. Upon hearing of Liszt's death in 1886, Glazunov wrote this Elegie in his memory with the subtitile Une Pensee a Francois Liszt.
The music embodies emotions of nostalgia, sweet remembrance and grief. This 8-minute jewel, originally for Cello and Piano has been beautifully arranged for Trombone by Ralph Sauer. For advanced performers.

Composed by Reinhold Moritzovich Gliere. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Russian Romantic. Solo part & piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2919).

Gliere's beautiful character pieces, Six Album Leaves from Op. 51 are from a larger collection of twelve originally written for Cello and Piano in 1911 while the composer was living in Berlin. The composer most likely was inspired by Schumann's versions which were unknown in Russia.
The pieces are full of eastern sounding melodies and exploit the singing nature of the Trombone. Mr. Sauer has brilliantly arranged six of these for advanced performers.

ISBN 9790530057773.

En Bateau (Sailing) is the first movement from Debussy's four movement Petite Suite written around 1886 for four-hand piano duet. Debussy was inspired to write this movement from the poem Fetes galantes by Paul Verlaine. The Suite has been transcribed for every imaginable instrumentation and is one of the composer's most playable works from a technical standpoint.
This lovely 3-minute arrangement in tenor clef by Ralph Sauer is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.

Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Jason Beghtol. French Impressionist Solo. Solo part & Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2275).

Faure's Les Berceaux (The Cradles), Opus 23 No. 1 written in 1879 is a song set from a poem by Prudhomme. The song's melody is simple, flowing, lyrical and sad. It beautifully describes ships as they head out to sea carrying men, lured by the mystery of the seas, rocked in the water and cradled by women and held back by the soul of The Cradles. Faure's magical enchanting style in this 3 minute work is captured perfectly by Jason Beghtol's fine arranement for Intermediate Trombone.

SKU: CY.CC2404

Composed by Vincent d'Indy. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Impressionist. Solo part & Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2404).

Paul Marie Theodore Vincent d'Indy was born in Paris into an aristocratic family of royalist and Catholic persuasion. He had piano lessons from an early age from his paternal grandmother, who passed him on to Antoine Francois Marmontel and Louis Diemer. His main influence was Cesar Franck.

These three pieces were some of his many works for Piano.

Opus 33 was inspired by a trip to Bayreuth, the musical home of Wagner and the Black Forest region.

Opus 33 no. 1 from 1889 is titled ? with no explanation of itself. Opus 33 no. 10 is titled Lermoos, which is a delightful skiing village in Austria right on the border with Germany. Germany's largest mountain is in perfect view, possibly giving the movement its spirit.

Opus 28 is a Serenade for Violin and Piano published in 1900. It is lithe, subtle and lyrical.
