Full Orchestra - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035210 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by James Strauss. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 77 pages. James Strauss #3115803. Published by James Strauss (A0.1035210). The sparkling bravura piece was called an Etude in the first version of 1828. Two years later Mendelssohn wanted to present the work to the young piano virtuoso Delphine von Schauroth, whom he was courting at the time. He reworked it under the new title Rondo capriccioso, making it even more brilliant and adding a moving introductory adagio (thus described in a letter to Fanny). In this form, the work still presents all good pianists with a rewarding challenge. I did a bravoure piece for flute and orchestra respecting the Mendelssohn style.
