Dancing Doll

• Poldini, Ede

• Cunningham, Michael

Hungarian composer Ede (Eduard) Poldini (1869-1957) was largely known in his home country for his many operas. In the 1890s, Poldini composed a collection of seven pieces for piano under the title MARIONETTES, IEP 17, the most popular of which is the 2nd movement, LA POUPÉE VALSANTE (THE DANCING DOLL), with its fleet, graceful introductory melody. A transcription for violin and piano by Fritz Kreisler is what made Poldini famous internationally. This transcription for saxophone quartet has been completed by Michael Cunningham.
