COMPOSITIONS
This piece was written for “24|24,” an event for the College of Music of the University of North Texas where composers had 24 hours to write a piece for a soloist, and the performer had 24 hours to prepare it before the performance.
“Working with Agustín was an absolute pleasure! He wrote to the euphonium’s capabilities with the skill of a composer far beyond his years. His “Miniature No. 1” has a fun and idiomatic flow on the instrument and the harmonies are almost Hindemithian in their twisting and shifting. His piece balances a level of difficulty where the melodies are a suitable challenge for collegiate players, but perfecting the nuance is a task one could work at for a long time. I can’t wait to see what’s next for his compositional output; he has a lot to offer in the euphonium world in the future!”
