SKU: A0.1094114

Commissioned for the Swiss Richard Wagner Society for a performance in the Richard Wagner Museum (Tribschen) 2022, this chamber arrangement of Richard Wagners Vorspiel (Prelude/Overture) to his opera 'Die Meistersingers von Nürnberg' endeavours to maintain the original sound and intention of the full orchestra but executed by an ensemble of 13 solo players. The arrangement is designed to pair with Wagner's original "Siegfried Idyll" using the same instrumentation. String parts are as close as possible to the original, thus can be expanded without modification to string sections of more players. Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, 2 Clarinets in Bb, Bassoon, 2 Horns in F, Trumpet in C, Strings (V1, V2, Vla, Vc, DB) PARTS ONLY!! - score sold separately. A transposed Trumpet part in Bb is included. Each part is designed to be printed on a double sided A3 sheet of paper, then folded to create a booklet part of up to 4 pages. (*note exception Viola, which is adapted to help manage page turns). ALSO AVAILABLE is a 12 player ensemble, with modifications to the horn parts in order to dispense with the Trumpet.
