Cadenzas and Interludes #2

Cadenzas and Interludes #2 for brass quartet by Howard J. Buss may be performed by a standard brass quartet, or a quartet consisting of a Bb cornet, Eb tenor horn, Bb baritone (T.C.) and Bb euphonium (T.C.), or for a quartet derived from these two groups. The cornet player (or trumpet 1) has the option to double on the Flügelhorn between letters K and M.

During this composition each player performs a cadenza. Although the cadenzas are written out, the players may perform what is notated or may take liberties to personalize the music, keeping in mind that it is important that all of the cadenzas should have approximately the same duration.

Although the musical language is sophisticated, this concert work is constructed in a way to make it accessible to general audiences.
