Description:
There are too few concertos for tuba remarked Samuel Adler about the composition of his own CONCERTO FOR TUBA AND ORCHESTRA in 2017, now available in a new arrangement by the composer for solo tuba, two pianos, and two percussionists. Wishing to showcase the instrument's lyricism and dexterity alike, Adler cast his concerto in three movements, with a substantial cadenza between the second and third. The first movement, Cantillation, is free-flowing and songlike, while the second and third (Scherzo and Finale) are brilliant and virtuosic. The cadenza before the third movement is a display of musicality rather than technical prowess. I felt I wanted to give the soloist [David Saltzman] another opportunity to emphasize the beauty and [lyricism] of this neglected solo instrument, says Adler, a chance to sing by himself.
