| Description: In typical Rossini fashion, 'La Cenerentola' Overture (Cinderella) begins with a maestoso, builds to a light, fast, and fanciful allegro vivace, and concludes with the usual Rossini flourish. The transposition to the key of C makes this overture more accessible to younger players, yet it retains enough complexity to present a challenge. Higher positions are required in the first violin, second violin, and bass. Your string students will enjoy performing this fast-paced and exciting overture. |
