About this arrangement

Flute (flute-piccolo), oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn (Flute (Piccolo flute), Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn) - Level 4 SKU: BA.BA06878 Bearbeitung fur Blaserquintett. Composed by Giuseppe Verdi. Arranged by Joachim Linckelmann. Folded. Bearbeitung für Bläserquintett. Ouverturen (Overtures). Set of parts. 5/3/5/4/3 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA06878. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA06878). ISBN 9790006502837. 30 x 23 cm inches.The opera “La forza del destino” (The Power of Destiny) by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) was finished in 1862. A work of the composer's late period, it represents a transitional stage in Verdi's stylistic development, combining traditional elements with portents of the future.Motivated by a commission from the Imperial Opera in St. Petersburg - and probably also by the urge to write a truly successful opera - Verdi applied all the expressive means at his disposal.The result is a work rich in contrasts. Tragedy and comedy, grand outbursts of passion, multicolored tableaux, merry camp scenes: all unite with the gloomy plot to produce a work of enormous explosive force.The same range and variety are found in compressed form in the overture, ensuring a maximum amount of pleasure for performers. (Joachim Linckelmann)
