Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893). Arranged by F. Leslie Smith. Holiday,Romantic Period,Wedding. Score and parts. 19 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #515423. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.808644).Tchaikovsky composed this, the first of his string quartets, in 1871. The second movement, Andante cantabile, has become particularly famous on its own, often performed in a string orchestra version. This arrangement, based on the original string quartet music, sits well with a five-piece brass group, retaining the beautiful and somewhat melancholic nature of the original.
This arrangement was completed in 2012, and performance time runs about 5 minutes, 28 seconds. Contact the arranger, Les Smith, at lessmith@ufl.edu. If you like this one, don't miss "Two By Grieg."
