Fascinated by the expressive power and spirit of the gypsy music from Hungary, Brahms used mainly traditional melodies in his Hungarian Dances as well as themes from compositions in similar musical styles. No. 5 and No. 6 are the most well-known of his Hungarian Dances and are popular as encores at the New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic. Fasziniert von der Ausdruckskraft und Lebendigkeit der Zigeunermusik“ aus Ungarn, verwendete Brahms für die meisten seiner Ungarischen Tänze traditionelle Melodien und Themen aus Kompositionen in diesem Stil. Besonders die Tänze Nr. 5 und Nr. 6 sind heute noch weit über die Grenzen der klassischen Musik hinaus bekannt und beliebte Zugabenummern bei den Neujahrskonzerten der Wiener Philharmoniker. Johannes Brahms a composé ses Danses hongroises entre 1858 et 1869. Des vingt-et-une danses qu’il écrivit pour piano quatre mains, il n’en orchestra lui-même que quelques-unes ; les autres ayant été transcrites par d’autres compositeurs, dont Anton n Dvoøák. Fasciné par la puissance expressive et la fougue de la musique tzigane hongroise, Brahms lui emprunta quelques airs et mélodies, qu’il noua dans ses danses. Parmi les plus connues, on citera les Danses hongroises n° 5 & 6, magistralement arrangées pour Orchestre d’Harmonie par Tohru Takahashi.Aff ascinato dal grande potere espressivo e dallo spirito della musica gitana ungherese, nelle Danze Ungheresi Brahms utilizzò soprattutto melodie tradizionali e temi tratti da composizioni scritte in uno stile musicale simile. La numero 5 e 6 sono le Danze Ungheresi più note e sono spesso eseguite come bis nel Concerto di Capodanno dei Wiener Philarmoniker.

Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18th-century composers, mostly taken from Trio Sonatas. Duet 11 is a Jim Self original work in the Rococo style; and Duets 12, 13 and 14 are arrangements of the three-movements of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Included with this edition are play-along recorded tracks by tubist Zach Collins, who also served as editor of the current edition.I created these duets as Christmas gifts for my tuba playing friends, with the first duet being arranged in 1976. All 14 of the duets are challenging and fun to play and are especially effective as concert pieces.As a young musician I had the privilege of playing duets with many of the world’s finest tubists including Harvey Phillips, John Fletcher, Bob Pallansch, Chester, Schmitz, Dan Perantoni, Toby Hanks, Ron Bishop, Winston Morris and Tommy Johnson. I learned more about playing music in these duo sessions than from any other musical activity I have ever experienced. Duets are powerful teaching tools for learning and mastering rhythm, phrasing and intonation and for developing overall musicianship.Jim Self:Self (b. 1943) is a Los Angeles free-lance musician, a veteran of thousands of Hollywood motion pictures, television shows and records, and tuba soloist on many prominent movies.

Das kunstlerische Wirken des Komponisten und Dirigenten Wilhelm Furtwangler war ein Leben lang begleitet von dem Bemuhen, sich daruber auch theoretisch Rechenschaft zu geben. Zahlreiche Aufzeichnungen belegen das. So spannt sich ein weiter Bogen uber diese Aufsatze und Vortrage aus den Jahren 1918 bis 1954. Der Reichtum der Themen, die Allgemeingultigkeit der Problemstellung, die Gedanken und Auffassungen sind aus der Schule des Lebens selbst, aus der unmittelbaren Erfahrung von Werk und Publikum erwachsen. Furtwangler setzt sich in diesen Arbeiten mit grundsatzlichen Fragen, so u.a. der Werktreue, der Programmgestaltung, der kunstlerischen Verantwortung, der modernen Musik, auseinander und entwickelt seine Gedanken uber Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner, Hindemith, Strawinsky und andere Komponisten.
