Short Cuts   was commissioned by the Apollo Saxophone Quartet in 2003/4 and was originally scored for two sopranos, one tenor and one baritone. This new version, however, asks for a different scoring of three Bb Clarinets and one bass Clarinet. The work’s main purpose is to play with two possible meanings for short cuts. That is, both with the idea of sharp and cutting musical gestures and the idea of taking a different, shorter, path to reach a specific destination. But, most of all, it was written thinking of the wonderful sonority and the rare qualities of the ASQ, to whom the work was dedicated.

Composed by Eugène Bozza in 1947, Short Suite in Trio Form, Op. 67 is a piece for oboe, clarinet and bassoon. This edition features the parts for the three instruments and a full score. This four-movement work is quite difficult and would be perfect for advanced players. A great piece for recitals, it is also really interesting to play for each of the three instruments. The four movements are Allegro moderato, which starts with the oboe, Allegro vivo, Adagio espressivo and Allegro vivo, and the piece lasts approximatively 10 minutes. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets among others.

Composed by Paul Lanksy, The Long and Short of It for Wind Quintet was inspired by the third movement of Mozart's Serenade for Winds, K. 361. Lanksy was particularly drawn to Mozart's accompaniment, which he refers to as the ultimate expression of breath in music. Nothing else quite captures the same sense of wind instruments inhaling and exhaling as only winds can. Five of the movements in Lansky's composition use Mozart's rhythm accompanying a solo, and the remaining four movements focus on musical concepts such as rhythm, harmony, and counterpoint. This piece was commissioned by The Library of Congress' Carolyn Royall Just Fund and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Performance Notes

The Long and Short of It was inspired by the third movement Adagio of Mozarts Serenade for Winds K. 361. Ive long felt that the throbbing accompaniment was the ultimate expression of breath in music. Nothing else quite captures the same sense of wind instruments inhaling and exhaling as only winds can. The work consists of nine movements, a Prelude, a Postlude and three short Interludes, each consisting of Mozarts rhythm accompanying a solo for a different instrument in the quintet. There are four short main movements, each of which is more abstractly about a musical concept: rhythm, harmony, counterpoint.

The Long and Short of It was commissioned by The Library of Congress Carolyn Royall Just Fund and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
