Wilhelm Ramsøe's magnificent brass quartets transfigured the genre of Viennese classical string quartet to brass sound.They are the composer's most often performed, most effective and virtuoso compositions. Each piece consists of four movements. A peculiarity of the cyclical form of this quartet is that the first movement in sonata form is preceded by a festive, slow introduction. Our new edition of the quartets follow the composers original instrumentation: Cornet in Bb, Trumpet in F, Trombone and Tuba, but with substitute parts for the trumpet to trumpet in Bb and the trombone to (treble clef )Baritone/Tenorhorn in Bb, the cornet part can of cause be played with a trumpet and the tuba with a Euphonium.
