| Description: Originally composed for string quartet in 1922, Andante Festivo was rescored by the composer in 1938 for string orchestra with timpani ad libitum and premiered in a 1939 radio broadcast with Sibelius conducting. Broad lyrical phrases explore a wide range of dynamic contrast and shaping, bow management, and orchestra color. The technical demands are modest with position playing required only in Violin I and Cello. |
