Fantasia in D minor (level 5)
A work for the more advanced string ensemble. A rhythmical opening that features both left and right pizzicato, as well as harmonics. The 2nd more sonorous theme is introduced by the Cello and Viola sections. The 3rd theme builds in speed and excitement, and is an opportunity for the 1st and 2nd Violin sections to shine. This piece is challenging, however when played well it is sure to be a show-stopper!
Parts Included:
Chin, Haydn Symphony No.60 1st Movement
This arrangement for strings is faithful to the original work with the added features of sharing the melodic lines, a slight editing of a few bars of the bass part, a violin 3 part and a keyboard realization. It is also an excellent way to develop Classical style spiccato in more advanced players.
