American Sketches [Alf:36-52255538]

A rousing concert ender, this work will challenge all sections with a wide range (every part shifts), running passage work, trills, and syncopated rhythms.  The B section, a lyric waltz theme, shows off the principal players with extended solos.  The return of the A section superimposes the waltz melody on the original syncopated theme for a wonderful conclusion.
