Peter Schickele has led a double life as a composer and as a musical satirist and humorist, known as Professor Peter Schickele, the musicolologist who discovered P.D.Q. Bach (the last and least of Johann Sebastian Bach’s sons). I attended a couple of his P.D.Q. Bach concerts at Lincoln Center in New York with the esteemed “New York Pick-up Ensemble” and enjoyed them and his many recordings. He only rarely performs now, but that leaves him more time for his “serious” composing, including the work featured here. If, somehow, you are a musician and have not heard of P.D.Q. Bach, rush and order some of the albums and also get “The Definitive Biography of P.D.Q. Bach” before it gets banned from publication. If you do know P.D.Q. Bach, take a look at this piece for something different. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Duration: 7:20. Recorded by the Dorian Quintet, Summit Records, Koch International: DCD 117 Summit. They also have a recording available on their recordings page. See also: http://www.schifrin.com/

Three generations of TV and movie viewers know Schifrin’s work as the composer of the theme to “Mission Impossible” and music for other popular shows, but this quintet shows a very different musical side to the composer. This is a quirky work requiring a professional-level quintet with a great deal of rhythmic security. The difficulties of the work are exacerbated by the fact that the publisher puts no cues in any of the parts, requiring the players to spend hours checking the score, writing in cues and memorizing other parts before performing the work. The lack of printed cues adds a huge amount of time to the preparation of the work. There are two main parts to this piece. The first is a rhythmically complex, angular, often staccato section, sometimes requiring many of the players to play in complex rhythmic unison, alternating with brief solos for the different instruments. This leads into the second contrasting section which pays homage to the New Orleans blues tradition (with a nod to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band style), hence the title. This part begins with a slower section, reminiscent of a New Orleans jazz funeral procession, followed by a quicker blues march, with a brief slow coda. The clarinet, naturally, has a prominent role in the jazz sections. The two sections are knitted together by a simple rhythmic figure – especially prominent in the first section – which reappears in the funeral march. Every player gets a chance to display their technique. There are a few licks which are impossible (or nearly impossible) to perform as written at the suggested tempos. (I.e., a 2-bar section of the bassoon part is nearly unplayable in the lowest register, but quite easy an octave higher.) Our quintet probably spent about 10-12 hours rehearsing for a performance of this work, which is considerable considering that it lasts just over 7 minutes. Audiences may be a bit startled in the initial section, but in Shreveport, Louisiana, the references to New Orleans jazz seem to have been appreciated. Other quintets may enjoy the work if they have sufficient time for the slow, patient preparation it requires. [Andrew Brandt]

Schmid, Heinrich Kaspar (1874-1953)

Woodwind Quintet in B-flat Major, Op. 28 (1919 or 1921)

Mainz: B. Schott Sohne, 1914, 1921

Three movements: Allegro; Grazioso amabile; Moderato – Allegro giusto. Score and parts available for download from: http://imslp.org/wiki/Wind_Quintet,_Op.28_(Schmid,_Heinrich_Kaspar)

The Quintet in B-flat reflects Schmid’s use of Bavarian folk music as an important part of his musical style. None of the melodic material in the quintet is particularly memorable, consisting of short fragments which are tossed back and forth between all the instruments. Thus, a major challenge of this work is smoothly balancing the voices so the leading melodic voice is not covered. (The score and parts are marked to identify the important melodic voice throughout, which helps.) The composer has a habit of reducing his simple motives into smaller and smaller units, down to two notes. The ensemble needs to make the most of the dynamic changes and accelerandos and ritenutos, yet keep a playful approach. The second movement is a quirky German Ländler (more like Mahler than the Strausses) whose tune towards the end, again, devolves down to two notes. The major performance problems are keeping it light most of the time, and resisting the urge to make it a faster waltz. The Renaissance City Winds recording (on Centaur), to these ears, perfectly captures the mood of the work (which other recordings do not). Lovers of Romantic quintet music may or may not find this quintet to be their cup of tea, but if you try it, plan on working on keeping the music light and flexible. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Further research needs to be done on these works. If Schmitt did die in 1802 and if his three quintets are, in fact, for woodwind quintet, they might be the earliest ones composed. (Cambini’s woodwind quintets were published in 1802.) Pleyel set up his publishing house in Paris in 1795, so the dates are plausible. [Andrew Brandt]

If a professional quintet wants to learn all the different compositional styles of the twentieth century, they need to perform this sometime. Once you sink your teeth into it, there’s a lot to like. (Some audience members might disagree, though.) If you do decide to perform this work, be prepared to live with it through many, many rehearsals. (When we performed this work, we rewarded the audience (and ourselves) by following it with the Poulenc Sextet after intermission.) See my blog post in The Cracked Reed Blog about Schoenberg’s Quintet, Op. 26 for more info and links to recordings. [Andrew Brandt]

Jeff Scott is hornist with the Imani Winds and a unique composing voice for the 21st century quintet. For the technically adept and rhythmically secure quintet, with a jazzy, urban feel. Could be good for making a hip statement as a concert opener (which fits the title). [Andrew Brandt]

Commissioned by The Band of the US Army Reserve. See an excerpt on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJfBL0u0KY .Contact the composer on his website, http://www.musicbyjeffscott.com/ .

From the YouTube excerpt, this work has the feel of a Latin Big Band more than the usual concerto of quintet and band. Not to every woodwind quintet’s taste, but I imagine it would definitely be a crowd-pleaser at a band concert if the ensemble and director were experienced in Latin music. [Andrew Brandt]

Seeger, Ruth (Porter) Crawford (1901-1953)

Suite (1952)

Continuo Music Press, Sole agent: Alexander Broude Inc., 1969

Duration: 11:00. Movements: 1. Allegretto; 2. Lento rubato; 3. Allegro possibile–Andante–Allegro–meno mosso–Tempo primo. Parts also available from Trevco Music and from Masters Music.

An interesting, challenging work using some tone-row techniques but definitely not “standard” serial music. There are rhythmic challenges and lots of fast notes in the outer movements. The bassoon part is particularly challenging in the 3rd movement, where it is often in octaves with the flute on the fast-moving theme. Written the year before her death, the work might be considered a summation of the career of a highly innovative and distinctive American composer. Recommended for the brave quintet. Historical and personal trivia: In 1932, Ruth Crawford Seeger became stepmother to Charles and Constance Seeger’s son, Pete Seeger, who became famous as a folksinger by the mid-twentieth century and continued on as musician as well as an environmental and social activist well into the 21st, dying in 2014. This writer often performed wth Pete Seeger while on tour with the American Wind Symphony in the 1970s and remembers his banjo inscribed with the motto: “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.” [ Andrew Brandt ]

Shapero, Harold(1920-2013)

Six for Five (1995)

This work is included in a CD set from 2008, titled Americans in Rome, Music by Fellows of the American Academy in Rome, performed by The Curiously Strong Wind Quintet. A brief review by Uncle Dave Lewis on AllMusic.com called the work “summery, witty, and ingratiating.” An obituarial author, Daniel Felsenfeld, called it “genuinely something, frothy, ebullient, spiky—all the watchword Shapero thumbprints were readily in evidence.” Three movements of this recording, ‘Overture,’ ‘Song,’ and ‘Finale’ are available on YouTube. (One wonders if those are the only three on the CD set.) The only copy of the score I’ve been able to locate is in the Harold Shapero Papers in the Archives of Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.

The Wikipedia article on Harold Shapero also mentions an early woodwind quintet from his Tanglewood studies that was appreciated by Aaron Copland. Could it have been a mistaken reference to a different quintet, Shapero’s 1929 quintet for piano and strings? But one assumes that Copland would know the difference between a woodwind quintet and a quintet for piano and strings. However, other than that anecdote, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that the early quintet existed, at least not online. Six for Five is listed in the Harold Shapero Papers at Brandeis as mentioned above. Somebody would do their quintet a favor to go there and get a copy to perform. While you are there, there is another enigmatic reference to a Wind Quintet in 1994, separate from Six for Five. Maybe it’s another untitled copy, but I would want to also see it if I made the trip there! [ Andrew Brandt ]

Movements for Wind Quintet (1960)

Malvern, Pennsylvania: Theodore Presser Co. https://www.presser.com/, 1960

New York: American Composers Alliance

This work was premered by the New York Woodwind Quintet during a residency at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee concert for its Summer Evenings of Music concert series. [See Kristin Woodward’s “John Barrows and His Contributions to the Horn Literature’, Florida State University Digital Library.] Movements: Adagio; Moderato; Allegro. Duration: 9:45. Recorded by the New York Woodwind Quintet for New World Records. Also performed by the Dorian Wind Quintet.

Barbera Secrist-Schmedes, in Wind Chamber Music, says “Written without bar lines and often in irrational rhythms, the individual lines move in what often sounds like improvisatory, unmeasured time and then suddenly coincide in regular, clearly defined rhythms. Likewise, the harmony moves freely from austerely contrapuntal to the richly homophonic.”

Archipelago for woodwind and string quintets (2009) or with additional piano (revised version 2013)

Activist Music

Scored for normal woodwind quintet with 2 violins, viola, cello and double bass. The 2013 version adds piano. See her website, http://www.alexshapiro.org/index.html

The composer writes, “I live in a beautiful archipelago in which each island has a distinct character. Some are similar to each other, and others cause me to wonder what the geo- and meteorological forces could have been to make them so contrasting. This piece is not dissimilar, as it wends its way through a series of cohesive but varied segments, each subject to the forces of my own emotional geology. “Similarly, a musical ensemble is its own archipelago: wonderfully contrasting individuals who, when experienced together, form a compelling, unified group. As with navigating the channels and straits between isles, or those of one’s psyche, Archipelago offers a journey, and every listener will experience the landscape differently.”

Sherwood, Gordon H.(1929-2013)

Quintet, Op. 10

This quintet is included in the repertoire list of the New York Woodwind Quintet. According to his Wikipedia article, Sherwood was a highly talented composer who won a number of competitions and fellowships and had a work performed by the New York Philharmonic, who later wandered around much of the world, composing but never making a financial success of his efforts, even so far as becoming known as The Beggar of Paris. He was arrested several times (once for defacing a poster of Elvis Presley). His life could be seen as a cautionary tale of a composer who made too many wrong decisions. The only composition list I’ve found for him is on https://www.klassika.info/Komponisten/Sherwood_Gordon/wv_abc.html

Washington, D.C.: Sista Publications, 1988

Duration: 25:00. Commissioned by the Dakota Wind Quintet. Movements: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The Washington Post printed: “By far the most provocative was Nightwatch, Clare Shore’s highly impressionistic evocation of the 12 signs of the zodiac. From its fanfare-like beginning to its quivering, haunting close, the piece covers an immense amount of dramatic territory. Each section reveals a clear structure and mood; at times Shore’s layering and highlighting of flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon and horn is positively orchestral.”

The Imani Winds must have liked the piece, because they used the title for an entire album of modern quintets.

Restless Winds (1986)

New York: Seesaw Music, 1986

See also: http://www.fayeellensilverman.com/ . Duration: 5:00. Commissioned by and dedicated to the Con Spirito Woodwind Quintet.

According to the composer, “As the name of the woodwind quintet that commissioned this work is Con Spirito, the title ‘Restless Winds’ immediately came to mind. In this short work, five different ideas – each with distinct tempo, timbre, and melodic or gestural material – are intercut. No idea remains present for too long, however, since the winds are too “restless” to stay on a conventional course. The ordering of these ideas (which often vary with each appearance) is meant to seem unpredictable. The nonchalant bassoon material – a meandering melody that continually gets diverted – unifies the composition via its appearance at the beginning, end, and within the work. As with the title (and, hence, with the form), the dance-like nature of some of the main ideas also derives from free association with the name Con Spirito.”

Windscape (1977)

New York: Seesaw Music, 1966 1977

Duration: 5:00. Commissioned by and dedicated to the Con Spirito Woodwind Quintet.

According to the composer, “‘Windscape’ is in one slow movement interrupted by a fast middle section. The work is soft at both beginning and ending, as are many works that begin from nothing and recede to nothing. The held notes of the slower sections contrast minor with major seconds. The flute part uses harmonics to soften the sound as the work approaches its end.”

Sims, Bekah(1990- )

The Formula (2016)

Contact the composer: http://www.bekahsimms.com/

Duration: 6:00. The work uses extended techniques including breath sounds, explosive attacks, tone bends, apparent quarter tones and multiphonics to make its unique music statement. A video of a live performance by the Blythewood Winds (oddly, in mirror perspective) is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/y-U0oZJWLOM . What disoriented me most, though, was everybody playing their instrument backwards in the video.

The composer’s notes: This piece is inspired by “The Formula,” an expansive mural underneath a rail overpass created by Toronto street artist Joel Richardson. The mural’s first iteration was unceremoniously buffed by the City of Toronto, partially due to its political nature — its anti-capitalist imagery, satirizing business and consumption culture, is quite clear. Despite this removal, the mural came back in bigger and better form: larger, more colourful, and even more scathing.This piece, similarly, attempts to “buffer” an initial dissent, expressed as multiphonics, but these pervasive musical ideals are renewed with even more strength and clarity through an invasive, almost annoying profile of repetition and interruption. It also incorporates some of the numerical elements from the original mural, described as a “commentary on the mathematics of modern finance” through rhythmic and pitch relationships. Additional pitches are “grabbed” from multiphonics.

Duhacki kvintet (Wind quintet) (1930)

Zagreb: Drustvo skladatelja Hrvatske, Beograd: Udruzenje kompozitora Srbije, 1983

The work is in three movements: Movements: Allegro energico; Adagio pastorale; and Google translates the finale as “Oriental Game” (which may or may not be accurate). A recording by the Belgrade Wind Quintet of 1975 is available on YouTube.

His woodwind quintet appears to have been published for the first time after his death, as part of a collection of many of his works in several volumes. As such, you might check with your local academic library to see if there is a copy near you. (WorldCat is good for this.) A historic recording of 1975 by the Belgrade Wind Quintet appears to be the only one available on YouTube, or anywhere else. On listening, this woodwind quintet sounds unique. It has melodies of folk origins, polytonality, contrapuntal voices and some piquant dissonances. (The dissonances are less intrusive today than they would have been over 90 years ago.) The use of folk melodies and rising scales reminds me superficially of Endre Szervánszky’s much more tonal first woodwind quintet. But Slavenski”s quintet is much more adventurous and modern-sounding. If you can find a copy, this quintet needs a renaissance. The last recording appears to have been almost a half century ago. It deserves a new one. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Smetáček, Václav (1906-1986)

Suite “Ze zivota hmyzu” (“About the Lives of Insects,” also listed as “Aus dem Leben der Insekten” and “De la vida de los insectos”) (1932)

Praha: Continental Edition (B. Leopold), 1939

Tallevast, Florida: TrevCo Music Publishing, 2000 (Editions Viento, licensed to Accolade Musikverlag)

Václav Smetáček was also a conductor and an oboist. He was one of the founders of the Prague Wind Quintet in 1928 and remained a member until 1956, performing more than 750 concerts. 4 movements: Dance of the Bees; March of the Ants; Enamored Beetle; Fugue of the Fleas. There is a recording of this work on YouTube by The Mansfield Chamber Music Players, recorded in 2009.

This appears to be the only one of the quintets and arrangements by Smetacek that was published and there is currently only one recording of this work on YouTube (or anywhere else I looked). It may not be the most polished performance, but it does show About the Lives of Insects to be a light-hearted humorous work that is not shy about using some dissonance to illustrate it’s depictions. It sounds like it would be fun to play, too. This work deserves a professional recording, and could easily slip into the modern woodwind quintet literature, too. (There are several insect-themed works on these pages and an all-insect, or an all-animal quintet concert would not be out of the question.) [ Andrew Brandt ]

Davel’s Polka

This is likely one of the arrangements that Smetacek wrote for the Prague Wind Quintet. He also arranged some Bach Fugues for quintet, including the Toccata and Fugue in A Minor.

Mood Pictures (1932)

Polka slanskych abiturientu, Perpetuo brillante

Leipzig: Edition Continental, 1941

This may be the Perpetuo Mobile listed elsewhere.

Bläserquintett (1930)

This was probably part of Smetacek’s graduation requirements, written to complete his degree from the Prague Conservatory. Since he started the Prague Wind Quintet two years earlier, he should have been familiar with writing for all the instruments. It could be worthwhile to try to dig up a copy if you could find one.

Sousa, John Philip (1854-1932)
arrangements

All of the original marches by John Philip Sousa have been recorded (possibly twice under different conductors) by the U.S. Marine Band, “The President’s Own”, the same band that Sousa directed and made famous. They are available on YouTube where some even have short program note introductions. Note that many published versions of these marches did not always reflect Sousa’s exact scoring and dynamics, so it’s interesting to see the different performace practices used by the band (i.e., a real ship’s bell from the U.S.S. John Philip Sousa used in The Liberty Bell march). (Some of their video recordings also show some of the flashiest dress uniforms you will ever see!) Arrangers, there are still a lot of Sousa Marches that have NOT been arranged. [Andrew Brandt]

Americana Wind Quintet (2010, rev. 2011)

Belle-Kane Publications

Duration: 16:00. 4 movements: I. Spring Serenade, II. Hymn to the Dawn, III. River Song, IV. City Shuffle. The work was briefly titled Suite for Woodwind Quintet.

In the composer’s words: Spring Serenade introduces broad melody over a tapestry of staccato notes in the other instruments, then develops with jazz-inspired solos in the three upper winds. An abundance of melodic ideas appear, from bird-like chirps of the opening to the more robust central theme, and the instrumental solos bring new charcters into the play, each making its presence felt as the music unfolds. Hymn to the Dawn features the flute and clarinet in quiet, pastoral phrases and hymn-like passages for the entire quintet. River Song (inspired by Native American cultures) features the oboe singing over an undulating backdrop, then grows in momentum with a second statement in the upper winds as running figures are transferred to horn and bassoon. City Shuffle is a swinging, syncopated jam session in which flute , clarinet and oboe all contribute a solo in the style of jazz improvisation. I hope that, true to its title, Americana Wind Quintet brings together diverse influences to produce something nevertheless organic, with an overall character of its own.

Based on an excerpt from Still’s Three Visions for piano.

Nice arrangement of a 1936 piano work by one of America’s
African-American pioneers in classical music. [Andrew Brandt]

Folk Suite No. 4 (arr. Adam Lesnick)

Richmond, Virginia: International Opus, 1995

Arrangements of popular Latin American tunes:“El Monigote” (Venezuela), “Anda Buscando de Rosa” (Mexico), “Tayeras” (Brazil). Originally for flute, clarinet, cello and piano. Duration: 6:00.

Nicely done. Great for school concerts! [Andrew Brandt]

Miniatures (arr. Adam Lesnick)

Richmond, Virginia: International Opus

Duration: 12:00. Originally composed for flute, oboe and piano. Described as “Five contrasting movements displaying Afro, Anglo, Latino and Native American musical styles.” Movements: I Ride an Old Paint (Cowboy Song, USA); Adolorido (Mexico); Jesus Is a Rock in the Weary Land (Spiritual/ Blues, USA); Yaravi (Peru); A Frog Went A-Courtin’ (USA).

These arrangements are a bit easier and simpler than the two other Still works listed above and, thus, a bit less interesting. Good for
student quintets and we’ve used “A Frog Went A-Courtin’” (which has a particularly froggish bassoon part) for several school concerts. [Andrew Brandt]

WHY?

Strauss, Richard (1864-1949)

Till Eulenspiegel einmal anders! (Till Eulenspiegal Another Way) (arr. Franz Hasenohrl)

Although it appears to have been listed elsewhere as a woodwind quintet, it really is an arrangement of Till Eulenspiegel by Franz Hasenohrl for a virtuosic quintet of violin, clarinet, horn, bassoon and bass. Trying to arrange any Richard Strauss tone poem for a woodwind quintet might be a pipe dream.

Stravinsky, Igor (1882-1971)

The Five Fingers (Cinq Doigts) (arr. Clark McAlister)

Boca Raton, Florida: Masters Music, 1993

Originally for piano. Scored by the composer as “8 instrumental miniatures for 15 players.”

Eight Instrumental Miniatures (arr. William Purvis)

In the repertoire list of the New York Woodwind Quintet.

Pastorale (arr. Robert McBee)

unpublished?

Relatively easy arrangement of the Stravinsky work, cut and transposed.

Davyd Breeskin suggests that this arrangement might be based on the (much shorter) original 1907 song (for soprano and piano), not the (1934) instrumental work, which would explain the discrepancies between the scores. I say do the 1933 instrument version (scored for violin, oboe, English horn, clarinet and bassoon) and give the English horn part to the French horn and the violin part to the flute. (You do have to play in six sharps.) It sounds better. (This also requires Clarinet in A.) [Andrew Brandt]

Pastorale (arr. ?) for woodwind quartet or quintet

TrevCo Music Publishing

It could possibly be the McBee arrangement above. See my performance suggestion, too.

R&M Music Publications, 100 Pettit Dr., South Meriden, CT 06540-4971

Pulcinella (arr. Ted Shapiro)

It seems highly unlikely that Mr. Shapiro arranged the entire ballet for woodwind quintet, but the Trevco catalog gives no indication of which parts are included or how long the arrangement is.

Stringfield, Lamar (1897-1959)

A Moonshiner Laughs, from “Moods of a Moonshiner”

Charlotte, North Carolina: Brodt Music Co. /

London, New York: H. Baron & Co., 1940

For those readers not familiar with American folk culture, moonshine is a home-brewed alcoholic beverage popular in rural parts of the Appalachian Mountains. Traditionally it was manufactured out in the countryside in a still (distillery) to escape detection from liquor tax officers known as “revenuers,” who would destroy the illegal stills they found. Thus a “Moonshiner” was a country yokel who made such a brew, carefully hiding his still, guarding it with a shotgun, and illegally selling as much brew as he managed not to drink himself.

Quintet (1930)

Duration: 35:00. Born and trained in Germany, he was a violinist, conductor, composer and teacher. He emigrated to the United States 1889 and he became violinist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1890, conducted the Boston Pops, later taught at the Peabody Conservatory and was the first conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (1917-1930). The 1930 quintet coincides with his work in Baltimore. Some of his manuscripts and memorabilia are collected in the Gustav Strube Collection and the Peabody Institute Archives in Baltimore, Maryland. That might be a good place to look for a copy, although the online descriptions do not mention any quintet.

Strunz, Jacob (1781 or 1783-1849 or 1852)

Suchý, František, Prazsky (of Prague)(1891-1973)

Suchý, František, Brnensky (of Brno)(1902-1977)

There are two Czech composers named František Suchý, but many catalogs, at least in English, have made little distinction between the two. The online Czech Music database, http://www.musicbase.cz/, has recently (~2018) updated its listings to add more clarity. The Czech-language version of Wikipedia adds a few more facts, but my knowledge of Czech is limited to a few musical terms (and Google Translate is far from perfect).
Suchy-Prazsky was more active as a conductor and a lifelong collector and arranger of Czech folk tunes.
The majority of the listed pieces below are by Suchy-Brnensky, who is the only one of the pair currently listed in Grove’s Music Online. Suchy-Brnensky taught oboe at the Brno Conservatory from 1951-1968, was a soloist and chamber musician as well as an orchestral oboist, and was one of the foundng members of the Moravian Wind Quintet.
Clearly, more research needs to be done here, preferably by a Czech music historian who can translate his or her findings into English. Publishers who want to promote Czech music should find ample material here, too. [Andrew Brandt]

These are the works by František Suchý, Brnensky:

Bläserquintett (Woodwind Quintet), Op. 5 (1928)

Serenada, Op. 30 for woodwind quintet

Quintetto Concertante (Koncertantni kvintet), Op. 34 (1947)

Praha (Prague): Panton, 1969

Listings are inconsistent, but this appears to be a work for woodwind quintet and orchestra. But see below for Op. 34a.

Quintetto Concertante (Koncertantni kvintet), Op. 34a (1947)

This appears to be a version of the same piece above but just for woodwind quintet without orchestra.

Three Czech Dances, Op. 40 (1952)

Bläserquintett, Op. 45 (1958)

also:

Concertino, Op. 13 (1931) for woodwind quintet and violin

Nonet, Op. 46 for woodwind quintet and violin, viola, cello and double bass

Suchy-Brnensky also wrote a Wind Sextet, Op. 48 (1960) but no instrumentation is given. There is also a Nonet, Op. 28 (1943), but I do not know its instrumentation. He also wrote a concerto each for oboe and flute, Sonatas (with piano) for bassoon and clarinet and a Fantasie for oboe and piano. [ Andrew Brandt ]

The following works appear to be all by František Suchý-Praszky, but the documentation is as thin as possible:

Manuscript in Furstlich Leiningsche Hofbibliothek, Amorbach.

I actually had the opportunity to try to play serpent once (a large S-shaped conical bored instrument with brass mouthpiece and fingerholes. Once you get your hands on one, it shouldn’t be too terribly hard to learn. (Think extra-extra-large cornetto if you have experience in a Renaissance band.) In a pinch, a small baritone or a bassoon or even a contrabassoon might suffice. (A contrabassoon would be an octave lower than a serpent, of course.) [Andrew Brandt]

According to F. András Wilheim in Grove Music Online, “The Wind Quintet no.3 (1966)… is non-serially based on a three-note motif and is indicative of the direction Székely’s music was taking at this time in that it alternates strict canonic movements with partly improvisatory ones.”

Woodwind Quintet (Fuvosotos) (1951)

Editio Musica Budapest, 1957 /

London: Boosey & Hawkes

Complete performances of this work are rare on the Web, but the Azahar ensemble has the first movement (Adagio – Allegro Moderato); online (they removed two other movements). The Dorian Winds has an MP3 sound file of just the fourth movement (Allegro Vivace). Finally, a complete performance of the work by a nameless quintet (consisting of Karen Bogardus, flute, Gerard Reuter, oboe, Benjamin Fingland, clarinet, Adrian Morejon, bassoon and Karl Kramer, horn) is on Youtube; a live recording, the sound and video quality don’t match the musicianship.

This is a fun, tonal, highly melodic piece with a Hungarian flavor, in four movements. There are lots of scale passages but it’s not terribly difficult; good for advanced student quintets or for a pro quintet needing to put together a recital quickly. Recommended. [ Andrew Brandt ]
