Description
Gioacchino Rossini ~ Arranged by Melanie Thorne
This overture is from an early opera by Rossini. It is typical of Rossini’s
lighthearted yet energetic style. The original was forward-looking
with the instruction for the Second Violins to tap their bows on their
music stands. In this arrangement, the tapping is replaced with ‘key taps’. (Grade 5-8)
