Description

Stefan Rimek (*1963)

Rondo africano, op. 3

for trombone and piano

“… This composition is characterized by African folk music elements, but also shows influences of jazz, forms of modern classical music and neo-baroque structures.” (Theaterspielplan Theater Regensburg 2005, series “Kammermusik um sieben”, premiere)

Press reviews “… Namibian folk melodies are transformed here into a propulsive piano ostinato … Cheerfully tinkling Zulu chants mingle with a classically executed fugue exposition, effective elephant calls in the cadenza give the trombonist room for exuberant joy in playing. Music that arrived spontaneously and immediately.”
