Kyle VanArsdalen Music #6479569. Published by Kyle VanArsdalen Music (A0.895608). This arrangement of Telemann's Concerto in D Major for 4 Violins is written so that it can be performed by a String Orchestra or a String Quartet. This is possible because the Cello and Bass parts are doubled. The 3rd Violin part is optional and can serve two purposes: (1) To add more instruments to the viola section, if your orchestra has a small number of violists, to balance the parts in the ensemble, and (2) to provide more options for performing it as a String Quartet. Possibilities include:2 Violins, Viola, Cello; 2 Violins, Viola, Bass; 3 Violins, Cello; 3 Violins, BassThis kind of flexibility of ensemble, along with the fact that every part gets to play something interesting, makes this an ideal arrangement for educators.This download includes the score and all of the parts (Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3 (treble viola), Viola, Cello, & Bass). It is also the entire concerto, which is 4 movements (I. Adagio, II. Allegro, III. Grave, IV. Allegro).
