About this item
Inspired by the composer's
Hungarian ancestry, and reminiscent of Brahms' "Hungarian Dances," this
major work is very attainable for advanced middle school or high school
string orchestra. The violin solo is harder than the orchestral parts
and offers an opportunity for your most outstanding violinist to show
his/her skill and flair in an exciting solo work, featuring many
techniques which are the soul of the violin—expressive melodic passages
with lots of vibrato, chromatic and minor scales, arpeggios, slurred and
unslurred triplets, trills, grace notes, double stops, and various
articulations of the bow. The rest of the orchestra has lovely
countermelodies and interesting accompanying parts. Written in D minor
in 4/4 time, it is quite straightforward, but the element of expressive
playing is more vital to creating the dramatic effects than trying to
execute at breakneck speed. This title is available in SmartMusic.
