A Beloved Romantic Masterpiece, Now for String Quartet * Gabriel Fauré's Pavane Op. 50 is one of the most recognizable works of the Romantic era, known for its graceful melancholy and elegant phrasing. This new arrangement by Wolfgang Birtel brings the piece to life for string quartet, with an optional double bass part to enrich the harmonic texture. * * Faithful to the Composers Vision * Originally composed in 1887 for light orchestral entertainment, Pavane gained immense popularity in both instrumental and choral forms. This chamber version offers players a rare opportunity to explore Faurés expressive lines in an intimate ensemble setting, ideal for advanced student groups, recitals, or professional performance. * * Flexible and Accessible for Ensembles * The included parts and score make this edition suitable for school string programs, studio recitals, or chamber concert series. The optional double bass adds tonal depth but remains flexible for traditional quartets. * * A Resource for Teachers and a Gift for String Musicians * Perfect as a music teacher resource or as a gift for violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists who appreciate Romantic chamber music. This timeless gem deserves a place in every string ensembles repertoire.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. (String Ensemble). The music of small forms was to become the focus of the French composer Gabriel Faure (1845-1924). In 1874, after many years spent in the 'provinces', the teacher of Camille Saint-Saens took the position of organist in Paris; later he not only worked as a church musician but also as a teacher. In the summer of 1887 Faure wrote his Pavane Op. 50, originally intended for a concert providing light entertainment, which soon gained wide popularity as an orchestral setting with and without the chorus added by Faure. The romantic, slightly melancholic melody is a catchy tune which, thanks to the present arrangement, can now also be performed by a string quartet. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9798350141047
