Lin is a renowned soloist and teacher and a Besson Euphonium Artist. He teaches euphonium at Taipei National University of the Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, Shih Chien University and National Kaohsiung Normal University. Lin gave the premiere of \u003ci\u003ePulcinella\u003c\/i\u003e in both its concert band and brass band versions in January 2021. \u003ci\u003ePulcinella\u003c\/i\u003e continues Sparke’s series of euphonium solos named after characters of the Italian \u003ci\u003ecommedia dell’arte\u003c\/i\u003e and opens with a long and expressive minor melody for the soloist over a brooding accompaniment. This is taken up briefly by the full band and is extended by the soloist after a change of key. A cadenza, accompanied by fragments of the main melody leads to a complete change of mood, tempo and tonality, introducing a \u003ci\u003eVivo\u003c\/i\u003e section starting with a perky syncopated tune for the soloist. The band then uses elements of this new tune to introduce a change of key, where the soloist introduces a more lyrical second subject over a pulsing accompaniment. The band then takes this up and changes key to reintroduce the original \u003ci\u003eVivo\u003c\/i\u003e melody, which leads to a short and acrobatic coda to bring the work to a spectacular close.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eParts: BC\/TC, Piano Score\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hal Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51508968226985,"sku":"S134","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/0947\/9849\/files\/amp_514-401_0.jpg?v=1793915218","url":"https:\/\/maxoutlet.shop\/products\/sparke-philip-pulcinella","provider":"Sterling Grove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
