Creston sonata pdf Continue Paul Creston (born October 10, 1906-August 24, 1985) is an Italian classical music composer. Biography Born in New York Sicilian immigrants, Creston was self-taught as a composer. His work is usually quite conservative in style, with a strong rhythmic element. His works include six symphonies; a number of concerts, including two for violin, one for marimba and orchestra (premiere of Ruth Stuber), one for one piano, one for two pianos, one for accordion and one for alto saxophone (the latter is dedicated to Cecil Leeson); Fantasy for trombone and orchestra (written for Robert Marsteller and premiere). He also wrote Rapsodie for Jean-Marie Londeix for alto saxophone; suite (1935) and sonata (Op. 19, 1939), dedicated to Cecil Leeson (sonata was arranged by Marco Ciccone for saxophone and orchestra in 2008); as well as a set for the organ, Op. 70. Some of his works were inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman. He died in Poway, California, a suburb of San Diego. Creston was one of the most performed American composers of the 1940s and 1950s. Some of his works became the basis of the wind farm repertoire. The zanoni, foreplay and dance and overture celebrations have been and remain on several state lists for contests across the US. Creston was also a well-known teacher, whose students included composers Irwin Suak, John Corigliano, Elliott Schwartz, Frank Felice, Charles Roland Berry; accordionist/composer William Schimmel; and jazz musicians Rusty Dedrick and Charlie Kwiner.
