STRING ORCHESTRA

This collection is especially intended for use by schools,

universities, conductors and teachers. String orchestra here
refers to music of at least 4 parts that includes a contrabass part
or that has a bass line that can be played by the contrabass.
Concertos with string orchestra are included, as well as string
pieces of less common scoring, such as the Pachelbel canon.
Major composers represented include Bach, Corelli, Dvorak,
Elgar, Grieg, Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Purcell,
Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi. Highly contrapuntal music is
featured for its mental-musical benefits. Parts are duplex-
printable when feasible and letter-sizedbut with no or minimal
reduction in note-size (each page required individual
adjustment!). Unaltered, A4-size pages may benefit from a 2%
reduction in size when printing.
