Serenade for 13 wind instruments in E flat major, Op 7

Available for over a year

The prominence of the horn in the Serenade underlines the influences Richard encountered whilst young. He was the son of the famous horn player Franz. Although dismissed as a ‘student work’ the music has an easy charm, reminiscent of Mendelssohn.
