Synopsis

Product Description
Why on earth arrange music written specifically to explore the capabilities of a single violin for string quartet? Partly, of course, for the sheer fun of the challenge! By spreading the virtuosity around his four players, William Zinn--well known for a host of brilliant arrangements (as well as for his original compositions)--reduces the risk of a performance being a solo high-wire act. It's no longer about a single performer showing off; it's about the notes and the music that lies between them.
