Description:
Dvorak's two sets of Slavonic Dances were written both for piano solo and orchestra respectively. Whilst exploiting a powerful use of rhythm throughout, Dvorák wrote original melodies rather than arranging known folk tunes. These dances have been a favourite with pianists and orchestras for generations. Spirited, lively and full of musical interest the addition of these four dances to the brass quintet canon is a welcome supplement to that repertoire both as a complete set and as individual show fillers.
scored for trumpet 1 in Bb, trumpet 2 in bb, horn in F, trombone, tuba
