Symphony No. 1 for Brass Quintet
by C. P. E. Bach, arranged by Justin Bland
C. P. E. Bach was an innovator as an early Classical era composer, helping to develop the sonata form that was refined by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Like his father, Carl Phillip Emanuel was prolific and showed signs of true genius.

Symphony No. 1, in three movements (fast-slow-fast), originally in D major, has been transposed down a step to C by arranger Justin Bland.

This very fine arrangement (the entire work) of about 12 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers and can be the cornerstone of a recital program.

Instrumentation: Trumpets (parts in C and B-flat), Horn in F, Trombone and Tuba.
