Composed by Samuel Barber. Arranged by Josef STASTNY. 20th Century,Repertoire,Funeral,Recital. Score,Set of Parts. 7 pages. Published by Josef STASTNY (S0.243567).Adagio for Strings is a work by Samuel Barber, arguably his best known, arranged for string orchestra from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11.
Barber finished the arrangement in 1936, the same year that he wrote the quartet. Its reception was generally positive, with Alexander J. Morin writing that Adagio for Strings is "full of pathos and cathartic passion" and that it "rarely leaves a dry eye.
This arrangement for brass quartet allows to enjoy this beauty by brass players. This excerpt respects the integity of the main music motive.
