Scherzo (four horns)

“Scherzo” by Airat Karimov is a bright and playful concert piece for four horns. Written in three-part ABA form, it combines syncopated jazz elements with polyphonic writing and humorous character. The opening presents a lively, rhythmically driven theme, followed by a contrasting middle section, and concludes with a spirited return.

Each horn has an important role, with lines exchanged in dialogue, creating a polyphonic interplay rather than simple accompaniment. The rare ensemble of four horns makes this piece a distinctive addition to concert programs and educational repertoire.
