Tchaïkovski - 12 Pieces From "children's Album" - String Ensemble

Description

In a letter to Nadezhda F.von Meck dated 30 April 1878, Tchaikovsky wrote:?Tomorrow I will begin a collection of miniature pieces for children.For some time I have been thinking that it would be good to contribute, to the best of my abilities, to the enrichment of the musical literature for children which is very poor.

I want to write a whole series of really easy little pieces with titles to attract children as Schumann did.?Peer Baierlein chose 12 easy pieces of this collection and arranged them for a string ensemble of two violins, alto, cello and double bass.He assigns different functions to the respective instruments: one instrument takes over the melody, another the rhythm, the other three the harmony voices.

These pieces with a learning effect are fun, encourage interaction and are therefore ideal for teaching and student concerts.All parts can be retrieved for free via download link.Niveau : facile
