About this item
The animals dressed up in sounds guarantee cheerful music making. The arrangement contains all 14 numbers of the original. The two piano parts are converted into a single simplified piano part as well as string and wind parts.
Four wind players can expand the string movement. (2 parts each, in C and B-flat). A solo violin, B-flat wind player or solo cello can play The Swan alternatively. With amusing words (available in German), a zoo director connects the individual movements.
