Contrasts for Euphonium or Trombone and Piano - Contrasts was commissioned in 2009 by John DelVento.

The first slow section is in ABA form with a cadenza at the end that leads to the Allegro. The Allegro section is in arch form (ABCBA) where the C section serves as a development of ideas from the A and B sections as well as introducing a new idea that is treated canonically. Advanced
