Description:
Child prodigy Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957) composed his final work Straussiana in 1953. Asked to write two short pieces for secondary school orchestras, Korngold chose to adapt the music of a composer he had adapted many times in the past, Johann Strauss II, the Waltz King. Rather than select the most familiar Strauss tunes, he chose sparkling pieces from lesser-known operettas, such as Ritter Pazman, Cagliostro in Wien, and F�rstin Ninetta and, reviving interest in these Strauss works. Following delivery for the secondary school orchestras, Korngold’s final contribution was to create a brilliant orchestration for symphony orchestras. Movements: I. Polka, II. Mazurka, III. Waltz. Instrumentation: 2+Picc(opt).1.2.1(opt): 2(opt).2.2.0: Timp.Perc(2): Hp(opt).Pno: Str (3 Vn parts; [7-6-5]-7-6-5 in set).
