Time to introduce some of the Set Pieces for our competition!

1st ROUND - FANTASY for EUPHONIUM by François Glorieux:
François Glorieux was born in Belgium in 1932, and acclaimed throughout Europe, the USA, Latin America, Canada, Japan, China, the Middle East and Africa. He is one of the most widely accomplished and versatile musicians traveling the international circuit today: pianist composer conductor, commentator, entertainer, honorary professor of chamber music at the Royal Music Conservatory of Ghent and guest professor at Yale University (USA). His particular art was the rare one of improvisation presented in five languages. Glorieux practices all musical styles and has been highly considered by great artists such as Andre Cluytens, Arthur Rubinstein, Yves Nat, Hiroyuki Iwaki, Enrique Jorda, Raphael Frühbeck de Burgos, but also Michael Jackson, Stan Kenton, Stephane Grappelli, Paul McCartney, T***s Thielemans, Jacky Collins, Annie Girardot, Dionne Warwick, A.C. Jobim, and so on.
This Fantasy for Euphonium has been dedicated to world class soloist Nick Ost, and has been recorded numerous times, thus becoming standard repertoire for this instrument. This solo work illustrates both the lyrical potential of the instrument and also its flexibility in more technical passages. The extended cadenza has clearly been carefully thought through, and the concluding presto is taken at breakneck speed.
