Little Suite no.1 for horn and piano

Description:

Range: f-c’’ Duration: ca. 6' 22'' Little suite for horn and piano divided into 4 easy movements, written for horn beginners. Hello Siegfried! – It is a hunting style piece very fun and easy to play called "Hello Siegfried". It includes some quotations from Wagner's Siegfried. Slow Boogie – It is a great piece to introduce the swing to young players and to teach them how to count long notes and music rests. If practiced after the "Hello Siegfried" it is easier to swing as the previous movement is written in 6/8 just like a written swing... Shanghai – Its a small counterpoint piece based on a pentatonic scale. Penta Blues – A blues written in 5/8! A great piece to introduce 5/8 metrics to young students as it is written within one octave range after middle C (both 3+2 and 2+3 metrics and even 3+2 against 2+3).
