Robert Schumann's Konzertstuck (Concert Piece), Opus 86 originally for Four Horns is a work of incredible genius, in that it combines virtuosity, energy, expression, lyricism and harmonic invention.
It is now available in a newly arranged edition for Four Trombones and Piano, by Gordon Cherry.
Written during Schumann's most prolific period in 1849, it is a marvelous showpiece for Trombone quartet & Piano and unsurpassed for its sheer excitement. Each performer needs to be at the top of their game, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
The 3-movement work of almost 20 minutes in length is a joy to perform and to listen to.

Recommended for advanced performers.

The Little Quartet for Four Horns op. 185 by Erkki Melartin was commissioned by the progenitor of Finnish horn playing, Holger Fransman (1909-1997). The Helsinki Music Institute's horn class received this three movement quartet from their principal for the spring concert in May 1936. A composition for four French horns was a rarity in 1930s Finland. The quartet was performed for decades as Holger Fransman's arrangement. This edition is based on the original version of the composer.

This volume contains mainly transcriptions, the majority of them from four-part choral works, these transcriptions have been prepared by the highly experienced teacher of brass instruments, Péter Perényi. In compiling the collection he was helped by his own music school pupils, who played through a large mass of material and selected the pieces they liked best. The pieces can be played on two trumpets and two trombones (or two tenor horns), the trombone parts avoid the seventh position throughout.

Der Stoff dieses Bandes besteht größtenteils aus Transkriptionen von vierstimmigen Chorwerken, die der erfahrene Blasinstrumentenlehrer, Péter Perényi selber anfertigte. Bei der Zusammenstellung der Sammlung waren ihm seine Schüler behilflich, die einen umfangreicheren Stoff durchspielten und dann aus diesem Stücke auswählten, die ihnen am besten gefielen. Die Stücke werden auf zwei Trompeten und zwei Posaunen (oder zwei Tenorhörnern) gespielt. Die Posaunenstimmen vermeiden immer die siebte Lage.
