Engl ish comments:
Divertimento I and Divertimento II, for two violins were composed in 1996. These two sister compositions have the additional attraction of being unedited works which are representative of the composer's most recent style. This etymological description, which defines a personality rather than an established musical style, takes the form of a succession of contrasting dynamic movements. One of the most outstanding features is the way in which the two instruments break away from their usual range of sounds to create the ideal conditions for suggesting their latent extent of sound possibilities in compositions that could be extended perfectly well into a string quartet. The interplay between the two instruments opens up a whole range of possibilities: short motives in an imitative style often braking out into a repetition of brief themes with a lot of personality, sequences of transformations, repetitive rhythms, etc. All theses show the virtuosity of the players on their own and together and because of their characteristics, they are written in a very clear tonal language, a times, modal, oriental, or even pentatonic. The progression of the movements is governed by a desire for variety: between the fast opening and closing movements there is a sequence of relaxed andante -some of which are in an easy two-part canon style- in scherzzi -and these are the lightest, most airy fragments of the two Divertimenti.

Comentari os del Espanol:
Divertimento I y Divertimento II, para dos violines fueron compuestos en el ano 1996. Un atractivo adicional de estas dos composiciones hermanas raya en su condicion de obras ineditas y representativas de la ultima manera del compositor. La acepcion etimologica, que define un caracter mas que una forma musical establecida, se concreta aqui en una sucesion de movimientos contrastados de gran dinamismo. Cabe remarcar la capacidad de los instrumentos para superar su estricto ambito sonoro y crear las condiciones idoneas para sugerir toda la amplitud sonora latente en unas composiciones que, con toda propiedad, podrian ser ampliadas en cuarteto de cuerda. El juego al que se someten los dos instrumentos se halla abierto a multiples posibilidades: breves motivos en estilo imitativo susceptibles de desembocar en elementos tematicos reiterados, poco desarrollados y de fuerte personalidad, mutaciones secuenciales, ritmos obstinados, etc., que propician el virtuosismo individual y colectivo de los ejecutantes y que, por sus caracteristicas, se inscriben en un lenguaje tonal muy claro, ocasionalmente abierto, tambien, a trazos modales y orientalizantes e, incluso, a lo pentatonico. El criterio que rige la progresion de los movimientos responde a simples razones de variedad: entre los fragmentos extremos rapidos, inicial y conclusivo, una sucesion de andante distendidos -a veces en un descanso estilo canonico a dos voces- y de scherzo los fragmentos mas ingravidos y aereos de los Divertimenti.

Jef Van Hoof (1886 – 1959) composed his Divertimento for trombone and orchestra in 1935. It was dedicated to his friend, trombonist Jules De Haes, who for many years played in the Antwerp Brass Ensemble, originally founded by Van Hoof. This edition of the Divertimento for trombone and piano reduction was first published by Metropolis Music Publishers in 1952. The work is in two parts, the first of which Moderato molto explores the expressive side of the instrument, while the second part, a Scherzo, is bright, rhythmic, and allows for the soloist to show off a bit.

Comentarios del Espanol:
Divertimento 2002 nace de un encargo que la Orquesta Sinfonica de Barcelona y Nacional de Catalunya realizo a Jordi Cervello en el ano 2002. Su estreno en el Auditori en enero de 2003, bajo la direccion de Hans Graf, fue todo un exito. Se trata de una obra amable y ligera, estructurada en seis breves movimientos; cuatro de caracter alegre y divertido y dos de caracter melancolico. El primero, Allegro burlesco, es festivo y jubiloso, con una percusion animada por el color del triangulo y el xilofon. El segundo, Poco Adagio, es un impasse melodico basado en una prolongada melodia que se mueve dentro de una atmosfera lejana, que nos lleva al Scherzo. Este, con un cierto toque oriental, se desarrolla en tresillos punteados, que establecen un dialogo contrapuntistico y jugueton. Con el cuarto, Misterioso, volvemos al clima lejano, todavia mas sutil y ligero, provocado por la cuerda con sordina. El quinto es un Intermezzo de ritmo ternario sobre un ostinato ritmico; los cuatro instrumentos de madera establecen un juego ironico, que encuentra colorido con el glockenspiel y la flauta de embolo. El clima virtuosistico y despreocupado retorna en el ultimo movimiento, Allegro grazioso: dos temas un poco descarados y de caracter marcado constituyen la base de este movimiento, en el que tienen lugar varias combinaciones ritmicas. Una cadenza entre la flauta y el clarinete nos conduce a una conclusion simple y tranquila. Grabaciones: Catalunya Musica.

The 'Divertimento giocoso' by Harald Genzmer created in 1960 is scored for two woodwind instruments (flutes, recorders or transverse flute and oboe) as solo instruments opposed to the string orchestra. The composer, whose work suits the amateur music-making very much in many respects, succeeded in creating a tonal arrangement that is individual in style. In the first movement, this rhythmically very lively, thematically clearly visible and harmonically inter-esting though not revolutionary work presents the strings and the solo instruments often enter-ing canonically with an easily remembered -seventh motif; in the second movement, it leads a melody dying away a long time to a dynamic climax, adds harmonic cross relations to a scherzo moving in dance style and closes with a lively vivace movement. (Das Liebhaber-orchester).
