Students finally have the opportunity to play this Romantic masterpiece by Rimsky-Korsakov, inspired by the story of 1001 Arabian Nights. Incorporating themes from all four movements, this arrangement provides study opportunity for young string students in a wide variety of keys, tempi, articulations, accidentals, rhythmic challenges, and expressive styles. As is the case in the original, a violin soloist is featured as the narrator of the tales. No shifting is required for the second violin and viola. Excellent!
