A slow and
somber Grave introduction
leads to a light-hearted
Allegro, presenting an
ideal piece to teach
sonata form to your
students. The clearly
marked bowings and
artist-level fingerings
will save precious
rehearsal minutes and
contribute to a
professional sound. This
arrangement re-scores the
first movement of
Sinfonia No. 9 from six
voices, requiring two
separate viola parts, to
the traditional
five-voice string
orchestra. Consistent
with selected
professional performances
of the work, the first of
two recapitulations has
been seamlessly omitted
to create a more balanced
form, eliminate
redundancies akin to
counterpoint exercises,
and showcase the young
composer's emerging
creativity by emphasizing
his striking use of the
key of A-major before
reaffirming the home key.
The elimination of a
repeat reduces the
duration to 8:30. (11:30)
