Léo Brouwer

Leo's Brouwer's Pictures At Another Exhibition with a title that tips a hat to the Mussorgsky suite of 1874 is presented here for a chamber group of Piano Horn and Violin. The Cuban composer has created a set ofprogrammatic musical depictions inspired by six works of art ranging from Bosch's Garden Of Earthly Delights to Rauschenberg's Pop Construction.This set consists of six Piano scores and may be performed in anyorder or combination. Ideal for chamber performances or for a smaller ensemble as part of a larger concert the pieces offer an unusual and exciting addition to any repertoire and are brimming with the vitality and energy ofBrouwer's Cuban origins.Movements are as follows:The Garden Of Earthly Delights: Hieronymus BoschPortrait Du Chopin: Eugene DelacroixLos Desastres De La Guerra: Francisco GoyaThe Jungle: WilfredoLamReclining Nude: Amadeo ModiglianiPop Construction: Robert Rauschenberg

Composed in 1960 and revised in 1994 this wonderfully lyrical solo Sonata offers a substantial challenge to the performing Cellist. The piece has a three-part structure with a lively and playful central Scherzo flanked by twoexciting Allegro movements with melodic material that ranges from a clipped pizzicato to a rapid tremolo. A superb showcase that explores the full range of the instrument.
