Mahler/arr. Brad Pfeil. This versatile arrangement
is a great showcase for your bass players and also
provides an optional harp feature. The famous
opening solo can be played in first position or thumb

The Abduction from the Seraglio—W.A.
Mozart/arr. Jamin Hoffman. From the comic opera
filled with pirates, Turkish princes, kidnapping
and daring rescues, Mozart's The Abduction from
the Seraglio is the piece of music that generated
the (possibly fictional) "too many notes" story. It
is written in the Turkish "janissary" style, a style
of music that fascinated Europe at the time. In
this arrangement, the right hand of the piano is
frequently written 8va to help re-create the piccolo
that figured prominently in the original.

section of the orchestra.The story and Beethoven's
marvelous music will provide good discussion
among the players and even your audience.

Allegretto Grazioso—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Robert
Sieving. Here's the 3rd movement from "Symphony
#8," one of Dvorak's most famous works and
it certainly carries his penchant for memorable
melodies! Allegretto Grazioso, is actually based
on a song from an earlier opera, and the coda
in a faster tempo recalls the Slavonic Dances.
