About this item
Harry Alshin brings us a well-orchestrated taste of Rossini's famous opera. Students will enjoy playing the themes they may have heard for years. The first violins get a real workout while supporting parts are animated and fun to play. Range is limited to third position for vilolins with optional position work for other instruments. An excellent opportunity to refine spiccato and martelé bowing, this piece is sure to become a favorite in the literature transcribed for strings. It also works well as a companion to Mr. Alshin's arrangement of "Figaro" from the same opera.

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.
