A Piece for exams and auditions for students playing Tuba or Euphonium or Baritone for 4 years onwards.

" The chassé-croisé of quarter notes and eight notes triplets together with Piano incite to dance and remind us of cabarets' ambiance of the 1920s. This piece, coupled with a faster one is an ideal combination to propose for end of first cycle exam. " - Alain LOPEZ

" The title of this Piece is a pun on Cubans rhythms. The opposition between the tone and used homonymous tone, as well as the rhythmic formula chosen on theme "B" are a typical feature of South America music. Concerning the melody, it is a stylistics composition on quarter note triplets!  " - Alain LOPEZ

A Piece for exams and auditions for students playing euphonium, baritone or tuba for 4 years onwards.

" Orange was the popular color of tango dancers at tango's height during the twenties. The melody is as bright as the color, pleasant and is not bereft of ardour. " - Alain LOPEZ

A Piece for exams and auditions for students playing euphonium, saxhorn or tuba for 4 years onwards.
