In this arrangement, its dramatic melody works very well as an instrumental solo, accompanied by a single violin.This remarkable arrangement gives you a choice of 13 solo instruments, accompanied by 1-3 other string or woodwind instruments. So it works as a duet, trio, or quartet. Among the thousands of combinations are traditional string duet/trio/quartet, traditional and modified woodwind duet/trio/quartet, clarinet duet/trio/quartet, viola duet/trio/quartet, saxophone duet/trio/quartet, and mixed ensemble. Solo parts are provided in two different octaves, and support most tenor and bass string/woodwind instruments (viola, cello, bass, alto/bass/contrabass clarinet, tenor/baritone/bass saxophone, bassoon, contrabassoon, and French horn). Note that this has been transposed to E minor to better fit the instruments.
