Sonata No. 2

Originally composed for English horn by classical composer Luigi Cherubini, this sonata translates beautifully for proficient low brass soloists. Known for his sensational dramatic flare, especially in his operas, Cherubini, like Beethoven, helped push the conventional limits of classical music into the Romantic era. This work is a fine example of breathtaking virtuosity. Duration ca. 7:20.
