Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) composed his String Quartet No. 1 in D, Op. 11, in 1871. Countless arrangements of its second movement, Andante cantabile, have been made, but it was not discovered until after his death that he, too, had arranged this movement in 1888, his version being for solo cello and strings. In this version, Tchaikovsky transposed the movement, originally in the key of B-flat Major, up to B Major.

The singing melody is based on a popular Russian folk song, and it lends itself quite well for performance on trombones.

This arrangement premiered February 14, 1997, at the Texas Music Educators' Association Convention in San Antonio, TX.

Sandra Dackow Little Known Gem - Grade V. Preludium, Andante espressivo, Scherzo, March. Written in a retro, Swedish neo-Classical style, the four-movement Serenade for Strings offers easily hummed tunes presented with grace and good humor. The Preludium offers inner rhythm of nearly consistent sixteenth note figures including written divisi in thirds. Many beautiful lines for cello and viola are found in the Andante Espressivo, which also has a few high passages for violin, reaching high G’s and A’s. The Scherzo is the most technically challenging movement, with quickly shifting tonalities and high, rapid passages that must be kept at the frog and off the string. Finally, the March, reminiscent of toy soldiers or a music box, contains several tricky passages and high notes for the first violins. This charming piece is popular with students!! See #40907 for Sandra Dackow's Expressive Gems edition.

The original of this arrangement continues to be one of Claude T. Smith’s most performed works. The opening theme sparkles with rhythmic energy and harmonic structure that never grow old. The Andante section is a beautiful contrast to the main theme occurring in neighboring sections. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as thirteen musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound. *The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.
