Andante - Theme from 6th Symphony "Pathetique" Piotr Ilich Tchaikowsky (Pyotr Peter Ilyich Iljitsch Tschaikovsky) / Arr. John Brakstad

Serie / Series: Concert Band Originals and Transcriptions

[EN]The 6th symphony is probably Tchaikovsky`s most important work. It was played for first time just a few days before the composer’s death in 1893.
This Andante-theme is taken from the first movement of the symphony.

For the conductor:
Play cue-notes when neccesary for balance. Incalzando means ”a little faster”.

[NO]Tchaikovskys 6. symfoni er kanskje hans største og viktigste verk. Symfonien ble uroppført bare noen dager før komponistens død i 1893.
Andante-temaet er hentet fra symfoniens 1. Sats.

For dirigenten:
Det er skrevet inn mye stikknoter. Dirigenten kan fylle inn, evt tynne ut stemmer i forhold til balansen; (for eksempel fra takt 5 er antall klarinetter bestemmende for om stikknoter skal spilles eller ikke.)

Ha stor oppmerksomhet til tempi og dynamikk.
Incalzando (”drivende, hurtigere”) antyder et lite accelerando (ikke for mye i takt 12, men noe mer utpreget i takt 32 og 36. Ritenuto i takt 34 og 38 er egentlig et molto rit fram mot sf)!
