Antonín Dvo ák's Serenade For Strings Op. 22 Second Movement - Menuetto arranged by Jeremy Woolstenhulme for String Orchestra.

für zwei Violinen und Viola oder drei Violinen-'This work brings me as much pleasure as if I were writing a major symphony...'. This was how Dvorak communicated to his publisher Simrock the joy he felt while working on Op.75a (Miniatures for Two Violins and Viola) and he immediately set about reworking it for Violin and Piano giving it a new title Romantic Pieces. The four short movements fully evoke the atmosphere of home music-making for which it was written. The Czech edition goes by the title Drobnosti (Miniatures) and is accompanied by a short Gavotte dated 1890 and also written in a simpler style for three Violins. This title is part of the first Complete CriticalEdition of Works by Antonin Dvorak.

Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Vivaldi's popular classic, The Four Seasons, is a piece every aspiring string player wants to play. But to perform it in its original form - four substantial concerti, each with a virtuoso solo part - is beyond the reach of many school or amateur orchestras. These arrangements, Scenes from the Four Seasons, aim to bring Vivaldi's music within the scope of students and amateurs while keeping much of its original form and character. Includes the Birdsong (from 'Spring'), Harvest Home (from 'Autumn') and Fireside (from 'Winter')./ Répertoire / Set de Cordes

At first glance the Introduzioni appear to be lively three-movement works with a standardized order of movements and harmonic order: fast - slow - fast major - minor - major. With regard to style the short symphonies resemble the Neapolitan opera buffa the descriptive title Introduzioni implying the function the introduction to stage works.With his 6 Introduzioni teatrali composed in 1735 the talented Italian violinist and composer Pietro Antonio Locatelli who had lived in Amsterdam since 1729 perhaps paid tribute to the great demand on the part of the Dutch amateur orchestras. But were the master and his oeuvre actually as well adjusted as it seems? Locatelli'sworks were well known throughout Europe until the end of the 18th century although the composer led a very secluded life. He had no students and never performed in public. In his adopted city Amsterdam he worked freely without being controlled by the church or the court. An unusual lifestyle for an 18th-century composer – and also an unusual composition?
