- Program Note from score
Of his works for band, Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov wrote in Annals of My Musical Life, “During the years 1876-1877, I composed, sort of by the way, variations for oboe based on Glinka’s song What, Young Beauty, and a concerto for trombone, both of these accompanied by military band. These compositions were performed at the Kronstadt concerts under my direction. These works were written, first of all, to present something different and, secondly, to help me master the unfamiliar virtuoso style, with its solo, tutti, cadenzas, and so forth. The Finale of the trombone concerto was not half bad, and was effectively orchestrated.
My third and last composition in this category was Concertstück for Clarinet and Military Band, but it was not performed at the Kronstadt concert because I did not like the heavy accompaniment at the rehearsal.”
