Albeniz – Cordoba*
Instrumentation: Fl Ob CA 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 6½ minutes
Comments: A gentle piece depicting a summer evening in Cordoba. Makes good contrasting work in a nonet concert. It uses a cor anglais instead of the 2nd oboe.
Dohnanyi – Intermezzo
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 4 minutes
Comments: A lively scherzo-like piece. Quite tricky if played up to tempo.
Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest - By the Black Lake*
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 4 minutes
Comments: The second of the set of 6 piano duets called 'From the Bohemian Forest'. A slow one with a lovely horn tune!
Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest - From Troublous Times*
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 4 minutes
Comments: The sixth of the set of 6 piano duets called 'From the Bohemian Forest'. The middle section tune will be familiar to those who know the 4th Symphony.
Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest - In the Spinning Room*
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 4½ minutes
Comments: The first of the set of 6 piano duets called 'From the Bohemian Forest'.
Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest - In Wait*

Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest - Silent Woods*
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 3½ minutes
Comments: The fifth of the set of 6 piano duets called 'From the Bohemian Forest'. Another slow one and quite well-known as a cello solo I believe (I saw it described somewhere as "semi-familiar"!).
Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest - Walpurgis Night*
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 4 minutes
Comments: The third of the set of 6 piano duets called 'From the Bohemian Forest'. A wild one, as you would expect from the title!
Dvorįk – From the Bohemian Forest*
Instrumentation: Fl 2Ob 2Cl 2Hn 2Bn
Duration: 23 minutes
Comments: A set of 6 pieces - see individual entries for details. These can be purchased separately but are also available more cheaply as a bound set. Good value!

Haydn – 'Now vanish ...' from Creation*

Offenbach – Orpheus Overture
