Product Description
Fast and Playful, a jolly mix of fanfares and quieter, more lighthearted sections, packs impish drollery and escapades into one fun-filled piece. Based on Allegro giocoso, the delightful third movement of Brahms Symphony No. 4, this arrangement was especially created for brass quintet. It preserves the fun and whimsicality of the original but translates that into a form accessible for brass instruments. Changes involve octaves and rhythmic figures, but melodic themes, sections, period order and key signature remain the same.
Completed in 2023, performance time at the suggested tempo runs about 6 minutes, 42 seconds. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge. He would like to receive your suggestions, comments, corrections and criticisms. For more arrangements by Les, enter "Sweetwater Brass Press" (without the quotation marks) in the Sheet Music Plus or Sheet Music Direct search box.
