Victor Ewald - Canadian Brass Edition

Canadian Brass Edition

The Canadian Brass edition does not set out to provide an Urtext, but rather to give performers a consistent and practical set of material for concert use. The edition therefore follows the instrumentation conventions of the modern brass quintet, in that it is scored for two trumpets (in B flat), French horn (in F), trombone and tuba. Due to the aforementioned taxing nature of the piece, an alternative E flat part is provided for the 1st trumpet in Op. 8.

Suggested metronome markings have been added based on the accumulated evidence of several recordings (including those by Stockholm Chamber Brass, The Wallace Collection and the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble) as well as the editor’s own preferences. They are in no way included as a definitive statement, but rather in the hope that they may be of assistance to musicians discovering these pieces for the first time.

Famous quotes containing the words canadian, brass and/or edition:

    We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.
    John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)

    No stout
    Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
    No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
    To holler down the lions in this air.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
