Capriccio Espagnol by Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov Full Orchestra - Sheet Music
By Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-KorsakovHailed by Tchaikovsky as a colossal masterpiece of instrumentation, Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnol has delighted audiences since its premiere in 1887. The melodies used in the piece go back to themes sketched by the composer for a virtuoso work for solo violin and orchestra. After changing his mind, Rimsky decided to make the work a display piece for the entire orchestra. This arrangement features two sections of the original capriccio: the Alborada (morning serenade) in 2/4 and the Fandango of the Asturias (a dance traditionally played with guitar and castanet accompaniment) in 3/4. Tastefully arranged by Richard Meyer, Rimsky's flashy showpiece is now playable by the less-experienced orchestra.
