| Description: The harmonic beauty and seamless polyphony has been retained in this very true string orchestra adaptation of the original. The flute, oboe, and trumpet solo parts have been reassigned to the principal players in the violin, viola, and cello sections. Though shortened to work better in the educational setting, very few concessions were made in the level of difficulty. |
