Vier Stücke

Discover a magnificent gem of the late Romantic era: The "Four Pieces for English Horn and Piano" (Quatre Pièces) were composed around 1886 and dedicated to the celebrated French oboe virtuoso Georges Gillet (1854–1920). This expressive work perfectly captures the characteristic, melancholic warmth and lyrical eloquence of the cor anglais, blending it harmoniously with a refined piano accompaniment.

The four-movement cycle captivates with its emotional depth and stylistic variety:

1. Lamento – deeply moving and poignant

2. Valse – brimming with charming elegance

3. Andante espressivo – intimate and lyrical

4. Final – a spirited and brilliant conclusion

Published by Accolade Musikverlag, this edition includes both the piano score and the solo part. A wonderful addition to any concert or recital repertoire and a true must-have for lovers of romantic woodwind chamber music.
