Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) schreef de ouverture Le Corsaire (De zeerover) in Nice, in het jaar 1844. De eerste uitvoering vond plaats onder de titel La tour de Nice (De toren van Nice). Pas later kreeg het werk de naamLe Corsaire, waarschijnlijk naar een gedicht van Lord Byron, voor wie Berlioz veel bewondering had. De originaliteit van deze ouverture wordt alom geprezen. De muziek is van een energieke levendigheid die aanstekelijk werkt.Niet voor niets is Le Corsaire nog altijd een van de populairste orkestwerken van Berlioz.

Hector Berlioz schrieb diese Ouvertüre mit dem ursprünglichen Titel La Tour de Nice (Der Turm von Nizza) im Jahre 1844 in selbiger Stadt und benannte sie erst spater um, vermutlich nach einem Gedicht von Lord Byron, den er sehr verehrte. Die Ouvertüre wurde von Anfang an für ihre Originalitat und Lebendigkeit gelobt. So ist es kein Wunder, dass Le Corsaire, das hier in einer Transkription des Tohru Takahashi vorliegt, auch heute noch zu den beliebtesten Werken von Berlioz gehort.

Berlioz ne revele aucun talent musical particulier dans son enfance ; ses parents ne sont pas musiciens. Vers l'age de treize ans, il apprend a jouer de la flute a bec et de la guitare et prend des cours de chant. En 1821, il s'installe a Paris et marche sur les pas de son pere en suivant un temps les cours de la Faculte de Medecine. Mais au bout d'un an, et au grand desespoir de ses parents, il abandonne ses etudes et entre au Conservatoire de Paris. Sa passion pour l'actrice irlandaise Harriet Smithson, qu'il epousera quelques annees plus tard (un mariage malheureux), a largement influence sa vie et sa musique. Lorsqu'il remporte le Prix de Rome en 1830, Berlioz avait dejacompose quelques œuvres majeures dont la Symphonie Fantastique. Berlioz devient la figure essentielle du romantisme francais. Ses œuvres sont dominees par ses idees novatrices.La premiere version de l'ouverture Le Corsaire remonte a un sejour que Berlioz fit a Nice en 1844. L'œuvre fut donnee en creation sous le titre La Tour de Nice. Par la suite, Berlioz remania sa composition et lui donnera son titre definitif Le Corsaire. La reference au roman poetique de Lord Byron a qui le compositeur vouait une grande admiration, reste une supposition qui ne fait pas l'unanimite.Cette ouverture fut particulierement saluee pour son originalite. La musique deborde d'energie et les effets sont fantastiques. Il n'est donc pas surprenant de constater que Le Corsaire est une des œuvres orchestrales les plus connues et les plus jouees de Berlioz.

Tomm i Hyytinen (DMus, Finnish horn player and pedagogue) writes about this collections:

I composed these 30 Etudes for Low Horn to be at the same time instructive and at the same time fun and interesting to play. The etudes consist similar technical challenges than a low horn player confronts in orchestra. The etudes also encompass many of the technical challenges that a horn player encounters in chamber music and in solo repertoire, especially since many of the touring soloists in the 18th and 19th centuries were Cor-Basse players. Some of these etudes are not the most serious in nature in the horn literature, but nevertheless they challenge and develop the playing technique in wide variety of ways. The ambitus of the etudes is very virtuosic, encompassing almost four octaves. Some of the etudes are more melodic and concentrate in lyrical phrasing, legato-playing, sound and intonation, others contain technically tricky passages, articulations and fingerings. Rhythmic accuracy and ‘finding the groove' is of utmost importance in all of the etudes. The etudes develop the sound and control of the low register of the horn and flexibility between the registers. These 30 Concert Etudes work as individual pieces or as a set of pieces. You can for example choose a set of etudes and perform them in a concert or matinée. I hope you have as much fun practising and playing these etudes as I had composing them..

Drawing from the same tradition of Concert etudes as Brouwer, Diego-Pujol and Villa-Lobos - and perhaps even Sor, Bo Hanssons's 5 etudes are a fine example a compositions that blend both musical perfection and technical ambitions. 5 beautiful etudes meant for performances both on and off the concert stage .

Voices about 5 Etudes

The five etudes by Bo Hansson are of the same dignity and tradition as the studies by Fernando Sor. As did his predecessor, he successfully achieved these studies to suggest a complete sense of harmony and structure, completely in accordance with contemporary music. The musical and technical aims are clearly presented to the classical guitarist and offer great opportunity to develop ones own ability. I warmly recommend these beautiful pieces to any guitarist.
Eric Lammers, MSC, Guitarist

B o Hansson's 5 etudes is a welcome contribution to the guitar repertoire. These well-composed etudes are not only technical etudes in a traditional sense - they are beautiful, idiomatic pieces which incorporates many ingenious and exciting exercises. I am confident they will be regularly played - both for practising and in concerts. Warmly recommended!

“Amer ican composer, trombonist, conductor and teacher, David Uber (b. 1921) is a virtuoso performer on the Trombone, as well as a popular music professor. His Concert Etudes remain significant for Tuba and Bass Trombone players. Uber's Concert Etudes were compiled in 1984 and address advanced musical techniques, including unusual time signatures, complex rhythms, accidentals, variations in performance directions, breath control, unusual intervals, complex key signatures, ornamentation and articulation, amongst other aspects. For all advanced Tuba and Bass Trombone players, Uber's Concert Etudes ensure progressive technical studies.&rdquo.

These 27 short etudes were composed to provide music suitable for study or the concert stage.  The etudes present a colorful palette of moods and musical textures and incorporate various picking techniques and lush harmonies.  They are extremely useful in developing tone and a lyrical feeling to a guitaristâ??s style.  These etudes will work well as concert preludes or encores or may be played in groups to create more extended performance repertoire.  They are guitaristic and highlight the beauty of the plectrum/flatpick guitar style.  The etudes are written in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio.
