Solo for Euphonium.
Fiocco (1703–41) was the most famous member of a family of Belgian musicians. As well as being a church musician, Joseph was a violin maker, professor of Latin and Greek, and a distinguished harpsichord player. His famous allegro, originally written for harpsichord, lies well for the euphonium. It requires a steady tempo throughout its compass and dynamic range, and is ideal for improving technique and stamina. The lyrical arioso demands well-shaped phrases and fine breath control.
One of Mozart’s best-loved and most performed pieces is the lively ‘Rondo Alla Turca’ from the Piano Sonata in A minor, K331, written in Paris in 1778. In this arrangement the Rondo is preceded by a little- known adagio, K580a, which existed previously as a fragment scored for solo clarinet and three basset horns. This completed version of the adagio is in sonata form, its main theme closely resembling Mozart’s famous motet Ave verum corpus.

Charles Villiers Stanford (1852—1 924) was an Irish composer, conductor, organist, and teacher. Both his parents were involved in the legal profession but loved music. They sent their son to public school where he studied classics.
In 1870 he went to Queens’ College, Cambridge, and by the time he graduated four years later, he was destined for a career in music. During his long life many honours were bestowed on him including honorary doctorates from Oxford and Cambridge Universities; he was knighted in 1901. A contemporary of Elgar and Parry, when he died his ashes were buried near Purcell’s grave in Westminster Abbey. Caoine (pronounced ‘keen’) is the beautiful lament which forms the expressive second movement of Stanford’s Clarinet (or Viola) Sonata, written in 1912. Its long, meandering and sometimes unpredictable phrases need detailed preparation for concert performances, and its musical rewards are unsurpassed.

Originally a violin solo;arranged as a cornet or euphonium solo.
Sarasate's famous Violin showpiece, a selection of gypsy songs and tunes, has been unsurprisingly widely adapted. Successively emotional, even tearful, then wildly energetic and spirited, what more could the extravert soloist ask ?
