In 1880, Edvard Grieg composed twelve song poems by Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. He arranged two of these songs for String Orchestra published under the title of Two Elegiac Melodies, Op. 34. These two deeply meloncholy pieces were titled The Wounded Heart and Last Spring. The latter of these two titles inspired Tohru Takahashi to produce this expressive and sensitive transcription for Concert Band, which will make a fantastic encore piece for any concert.

Last Spring komt uit de Two Elegiac Melodies for String Orchestra, opus 34. Deze muziek, gecomponeerd in 1880, is oorspronkelijk geschreven voor twee liederen uit Grieg's album opus 33: The Wounded Heart en Spring.De laatste van deze twee titels inspireerde Tohru Takahashi tot het maken van een prachtige transcriptie die heel geschikt is als toegift. Met hart en ziel gespeeld zal deze muziek uw beslist raken.

Edvard Grieg komponierte Zwölf Lieder zu Gedichten von Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. Zwei dieser Lieder arrangierte er für Streichorchester unter dem Titel Zwei elegische Melodien. Diese Lieder heißen The Wounded Heart (Der Verwundete) und The Last Spring (Letzter Frühling). Letzteres inspirierte Tohru Takahashi zu einer emotionalen Transkription, die mehr Musikverständnis als technische Fertigkeiten verlangt und sich hervorragend als Zugabenummer eignet.

En 1880, Edvard Grieg achève ses Douze mélodies sur des poèmes d’Aasmund Olavsson, Op. 33. Par la suite, il réalise une version pour Orchestre Cordes de deux mélodies extraites de ce cycle, et les publie sous le titre de Deux mélodies élégiaques, Op. 34. Il s’agit de deux pièces profondément mélancoliques, comme l’annoncent les sous-titres : Coeur blessé et Dernier printemps. Tohru Takahashi a réalisé une superbe transcription de la seconde mélodie, expressive et pleine de sensibilité (Dernier printemps/Last Spring).
