| Description: Compiled, edited, and arranged by Albert Stoessel in 1927, the University String Orchestra Album remains a sought after compendium of orchestral classics by Mozart, Bach, Handel, and more. Stoessel, with the help of Martin Bernstein, arranged these standards with careful attention paid to ensemble flexibility. The collection can be performed by various instrumental combinations including a third violin part to act as an optional viola part replacement. |
