Schubert: Dances for junior string orchestra

Informatie

The Scubert volume now appearing in the Leggiero series gives a varied picture of the dances of the first third of the 19th century. These include waltzes, galops, minuets, ländler, sentimental waltzes, a series of écossaises, and Wiener Deutsche. The dances, although typical, are individual in character. The range of the violin parts does not go beyond the third position or that of the cello part beyond the fourth position. The viola may be replaced by a third violin section, so the part is provided in both an alto and treble clef version. The material also includes an ad libitum double-bass part.
