| Description: In this multi-level arrangement for beginning, intermediate, and advanced orchestras, young students can experience the thrill of Beethoven’s original symphony. This abbreviated version is long enough to highlight some of the best moments from the final movement, but short enough to use as a grand finale for any pyramid concert. Optional high school-level wind and brass parts have been made more accessible and are highly encouraged but not required for performance. A great selection to motivate and inspire young string students. |
