About this item
The opening to this famous overture requires a good cello section! If your cellos are not up to dividing into 5 successfully then start at the Allegro Vivace. Rossini had two viola parts in the original; the upper viola part has been given to Violin 3 in this arrangement and the lower part becomes the main Viola part, although it will still work perfectly well without any violas at all.

Composer
Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)
Gioachino Antonio Rossini (February 29, 1792 ? November 13, 1868) was an Italian composer who wrote 39 operas as well as sacred music, chamber music, songs, and some instrumental and piano pieces. His best-known operas include the Italian comedies Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) and La Cenerentola and the French-language epics Moïse et Pharaon and Guillaume Tell (William Tell). A tendency for inspired, song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores, which led to the nickname "The Italian Mozart." Until his retirement in 1829, Rossini had been the most popular opera composer in history.
