Little Suite no.2 for horn and piano

Description:

Range: c-f’’ Duration: ca.5'40'' Little suite for horn and piano divided into 3 movements of moderate difficulty written for horn beginners. Earth's Dance – It is a jazzy/folk influenced piece, great for practicing stopped notes as the horn part has some but always in the middle g. There are a lot of syncopation, but the rhythm it's easy to catch, isn't it? Drunkard's Dance – In this piece the drunkard is represented by the horn playing something very similar to a tango. At the same time the pianist plays a kind of habanera with the left hand against a sort of a valse with the right one. Circus – It is a funny piece that includes flutter tongue, stopped notes and some dissonant notes on the piano part.
