This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in 1903. O'Neill's source was Chicago fiddler, dancer and police patrolman Timothy Dillon, originally from County Kerry in western Ireland.
This blazingly fast 4/8-time moto perpetuo is the fourteenth étude from Sigfried Karg-Elert's 30 Caprices: a “Gradus ad Parnassum” of the modern technique for flute solo. It is marked “Il più presto possibile”, which literally means “As fast as possible”!
Here is another duet in E minor from the 55 Easy Pieces by Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. The title “La Champenoise” refers to the French province of Champagne, now best known for the sparkling white wine that bears its name.
Composed in 1900, the Serenata “Rimpianto” (literally, “Regret”) is the only work Enrico Toselli is remembered for, despite his having written many other songs, as well as tone poems and operettas. It is also one of his earliest works, composed when he was only seventeen. The song was so popular, Toselli himself made an arrangement for violin and piano. Arrangements for almost every other instrument and ensemble have been made over the years as well.
The song is one of those typical turn-of-the-century pieces, very sentimental and light on musical complexity, that would sound emotionally impressive when performed by concert artists, but would also be easily performed at home by amateurs.
This tune appears to be unique to Francis O'Neill's early-20th-century collections Music of Ireland (1903) and The Dance Music of Ireland (1907), both published in Chicago. O'Neill's source was Chicago police patrolman, piper and flute player John Ennis, originally from County Kildare. Ennis had it from a Chicago session, a “pet tune” of a nameless player who was reluctant to allow it to be collected.
This study in double tonguing is the very last piece of Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Gariboldi's collection of 30 Etudes faciles et progressives.
This is the very first movement from a collection of twelve sonatas by Jean-Baptiste Loeillet, first published around 1710.
