A lilting waltz with a modern twist, taken from the composer’s JazzSuite No.2. Der durch den Geiger André Rieu bekannt gewordene Walzer in einer Bearbeitung für variables Bläserquintett. En 1938, Dimitri Chostakovitch compose la Suite pour Orchestre de Jazz n° 2. Cette suite témoigne de l’éclat et de l’esprit qui marquent l’orchestration de Chostakovitch, mais la musique ne correspond guère l’idée que l’on se fait communément du jazz. Le compositeur recourt plutôt un style qui s’apparente la musique légère. La Suite n° 2 est enracinée dans la Vienne de Johann Strauss comme en témoigne la Valse n° 2. La trascrizione del celebre Waltz tratto dalla Jazz suite n.2 di Dimitri Schostakovich, entrata nell’immaginario collettivo anche grazie al film di Kubrik Arancia meccanica.

Iiro Rantala's Veneziana for chamber ensemble and piano (2021-2022) is a 50 minute long program about all things Venice; how famous composers were affected by the city, how they affected the city and became part of the Venetian Story – told with an Iiro twist. The meeting of Prokofiev and Diaghilev turns into a real nutcracker ballet Romeo and Steve, whilst Mozart loses his mojo when visiting Venice. Monteverdi starts and Verdi completes the waltz boom - and Sibelius finds his national romantic melancholy again.Veneziana is scored for wind and string quintets and a pianist. This product is a study score (A4 sized, spiral bounding). The performance material is available for hire from the publisher.Contents:1. Gondol Ride to St. Mark’s Square2. Romeo and Steve3.
