Boléro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel. Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian ballerina Ida Rubenstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.[2] Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906–1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled 
dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more 
mature works like Le tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed Boléro.

Black Sheep Squadron
This march is dedicated to the VMA-214 Squadron of the United States Marine Corps. Based on the Pacific island of Vella Lavella, it took part in the Guadalcanal campaign between 1942 and 1943 and was equipped with Chance Vought F4U Corsairs, also known as l'uccellaccio because of the folded wings on its W-wing. The squadron was commanded by Major Gregory Boyington, who was not only one of the Marines' best pilots, but also a tireless troublemaker: he loved to get drunk, gamble and challenge his friends to wrestling matches in the middle of crowded bars. in the middle of crowded bars. Pacific Command, eager to make the most of the human material available at this delicate moment in the war, entrusted Boyington with the task of forming a new wing. The unit was to become perhaps the most famous flying squadron in the Marine Corps, known as the "Black Sheep Squadron". The name came from the fact that all the pilots were 'orphans' and had not been assigned to a squadron when they were formed, and from the fact that they had few reliable aircraft and no mechanics. Boyington was nicknamed "Gramps" because, at 31, he was ten years older than most of the Marines who served under him. The name "Gramps" was later changed to "Pappy".

World Premiere of one of the most famous piano pieces by Mozart arranged for piano and orchestra. The Turkish March (Rondo alla Turca) was originally composed for solo piano in 1783 by W. A. Mozart and it is the final movement of his Piano Sonata N. 11 in A minor.

230 years later for the first time was premiered the version for Piano & Orchestra in the arrangement by Georgii Cherkin. This video represents the live event and was highly acclaimed by the public. The style of the orchestration is however a little bit more romantic while the piano part remains original. The melodical lines in the orchestra are more in the style of Tchaikovsky than Mozart, but the concept of the piece is strictly followed. Let's say that this is a modern version of the Turkish March enhanced with the rich orchestral sound. I put a lot of love when I did this arrangement with the intention to add more beauty and expression to this already famous piano piece and I hope that I succeeded and that people will really like it.
