Today in class, we listened to the Bohme Sextet recording by Brass Partout. We had a brief discussion about the original instrumentation of the piece, and I asked you to do some research about why was St. Petersburg a destination for many 19th century brass pedagogues, performers and composers.
Here are some related links that may help us learn more:
