Description

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960), composer, pianist and conductor, left his native Hungary after World War II. From 1949 until his death, he was Professor of Piano and Composition at Florida State University in Tallahassee. The Serenade, Op. 10, for Violin, Viola and Cello follows the precedent of the classical serenade and cassation which begins and ends with a march. The work is witty, romantic and dramatic. The integrity of the phrasing and articulation of the urtext edition has been respected in this setting. It is hoped that this string orchestra version enhances the rich sonorities of Dohnanyi’s Serenade.

A count of 8-8-5-5-5 strings are included in the set.
