A student of Paul Hindemith, Etler is noted for his highly rhythmic, harmonically and texturally complex compositional style, taking inspiration from the works of Bartók and Copland as well as the dissonant and accented styles of jazz. All of these influences contributed to the composition of his Brass Quintet. His use of contemporary techniques, such as doodle tonguing, and half valve notation make the fourth movement particularly unique. Etler creates an illusion of chaos with his arrhythmic style, but points of arrival and climaxes are very clear.
Jon Seiberlich is a fine human being...and a pretty good tubist :)
