A Symphonic Sketch. Otto M. Schwarz composes not only for symphonic bands, but has written the soundtracks for many films. In this piece, he describes a ride on a roller coaster. At the beginning, the cars are pulled up by a chain. High above the ground the ride begins with all the well-known variations like steep downhill slides and loops, accompanied by the screams of the passengers. Towards the end of the piece, the ride becomes faster and faster, and then comes the end. Roller Coaster must be considered as a musical sketch, and is especially suited as an encore for your concerts. Get in! Let the ride begin!

Otto M. Schwarz beschrijft in dit werk een rit in een achtbaan. Bij de start worden de wagentjes omhooggetrokken met een ketting. Hoog boven de grond begint de rit met alle bekende variaties, van steile afdalingen tot loopings, waarbijhet gillen van de passagiers te horen is. Tegen het einde van het stuk gaat het sneller en sneller, tot het eindpunt is bereikt. Roller Coaster is te beschouwen als een muzikale schets en is vooral geschikt als toegift bij eenconcert. Stap maar in! De rit kan beginnen!Roller Coaster beschreibt eine ebenso rasante wie abwechslungsreiche Fahrt mit der Achterbahn. Dieses Werk eignet sich besonders als Zugabennummer. Steigen Sie ein: Die Fahrt kann losgehen! Roller Coaster (“Les montagnes russes”) décrit un tour de montagnes russes. Une fois les passagers installés, les voitures, montées sur rails, sont hissées au sommet du manège plusieurs mètres du sol. Le tour commence et toutes les célèbres figures sont présentes : descentes vertigineuses, boucles, vrilles et remontées abruptes, sous les cris des passagers. Dans les dernières mesures, la vitesse est de plus en plus élevée, puis c’est l’arrivée. Le tour est terminé. Roller Coaster est une esquisse musicale divertissante.

Three works with quotations from well-known composers are contained in this tongue-in-cheek collection. Otto M. Schwarz has produced an outstanding recording of these works with members of the Slovak Philharmonic, which is available on all streaming and download platforms. 1. THE AMADEUS WATCH: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's own watch - if he had one - ticks away. The ticking carries us back in time with a piece that stylistically imitates the music of the 18th century in melody, harmony and rhythm. 2. COMPOSERS DINNER IN HEAVEN: At the music publisher De Haske, a composers' dinner was an integral part of trade fairs or meetings. The dinner was very popular among anyone who sat at it, not least of all because it offered one the opportunity to chat informally. Based on such a meeting, Otto M. Schwarz has composed a work that describes an imaginary dinner of great classical masters on a cloud in the sky. Guess which composers are present by the references in the form of musical quotations and stylistic devices! 3. SCHERZO FOR WOOD QUARTET: The work, in 12/8 time, moves in a rapid furioso. Underscored by a continuous eighth note rhythm, the work creates in the listener the sensation of a frantic rollercoaster ride. The theme moves throughout all the parts, and following a chromatically moving chord sequence, ends in a dramatic crescendo.
