ANTON SIMON:
QUATUOR en forme de Sonatine (opus 23 no.1)
ANTON SIMON 1850 -1916
Anton Simon (1851 - 1916) was a composer, pianist and conductor who emigrated in his early twenties from his native Paris to Moscow, and spent his life there composing, performing and teaching. He is known to have written operas, choral and chamber works, the latter including over twenty works for brass.
The quartet included here is typical of the best of these pieces, both lively and beautiful. It is a thoroughly traditional 19th century work in the romantic style. The work is characterized by plentiful melody, sequential development and modulatory harmonic development in the opening movement. The second and third movements are the traditional slow movement and scherzo, while the last movement, subtitled "a la Russe,"is a lusty finale based on Russian dance themes and rhythms.

ALEXANDER TCHEREPNIN:
BRASS QUINTET opus 105 (1972)
ALEXANDER TCHEREPNIN 1899 - 1977
Alexander Tcherepnin was born in St. Petersburg in 1899 and moved after the Russian revolution to Paris, where he commenced a dual career as pianist and composer. In 1949 he came to the United States to teach at the University of Chicago and subsequently became an American citizen. Tcherepnin remained active as a composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher until his death in 1977.
Tcherepnin's Brass Quintet is in five movements, the second and third and the fourth and fifth of which are performed without pause. The work is characteristically clean and well defined, with a contrasting sense of austerity and wit. In 1975, after hearing a European broadcast recording of this work by Annapolis Brass Quintet, Tcherepnin wrote his compliments to the quintet and expressed hope that this work would sometime be recorded in the United States sometime in the future. That first commercial recording of his Brass Quintet was released shortly after the composer's death, and dedicated to him as a small part of the vast musical legacy left by Alexander Tcherepnin.
