About this item
This original piece features
three soloists and the use of only one bow throughout! Your audience
will be captivated as they watch the violin, viola, and cello soloists
pass a bow amongst themselves while the rest of the string orchestra
accompanies pizzicato. The concerto begins with a slow Mozart-like
opening section followed by a lively 6/8 section that allows the
soloists to show off. By the end, the bow ends up in the conductor's
hand, used as a baton to bring this crowd-pleaser to a rousing
conclusion. Very playable by less experienced groups but a joy for all
groups to play, hear and watch!
