Unleash a cascade of dazzling brilliance and irresistible energy with Willem Ten Have's iconic Allegro brillante, Op. 19, now exquisitely arranged for solo violin and string orchestra. This sparkling and virtuosic miniature, a beloved favourite of the violin repertoire, is transformed into a thrilling orchestral experience, perfectly capturing its infectious drive and technical flair within a vibrant ensemble setting.
Willem Ten Have (1831-1924), a distinguished Dutch violinist and composer, possessed a remarkable gift for crafting brilliant and melodious pieces that showcase the violin's agility and expressive power. His "Allegro brillante," originally for violin and piano, is a prime example, demanding dazzling dexterity, crisp articulation, and a lively spirit from the soloist. This arrangement by Paul Wood meticulously expands the original piano accompaniment to a full string orchestra, enriching the harmonic textures and providing a dynamic, sympathetic backdrop that enhances the solo violin's commanding presence. It offers a practical and accessible option for soloists and ensembles who may not have access to a full symphony orchestra, allowing this delightful work to be performed more widely without sacrificing its intrinsic brilliance.
