The study presents an overview of two musical transcriptions for euphonium by Robert
Schumann. Five Pieces in Folk Style and Fantasiestücke are two important pieces of literature
for euphonium. The euphonium has a number of transcriptions written for it, and these works
are a good example of how to approach other transcriptions. Both pieces have their challenges
when being prepared to perform, and it is important to understand aspects such as background
information, differences between original works and the transcription, and difficulties in the
piece that require attention when preparing the work.
