Overture from the Barber of Seville
Challenging, fun, a learning experience, a hefty concert piece and busy ringers are all words and phrases that describe this new transcription from Martha Lynn Thompson. Rossini's famous overture flies off the page with an allegro vivo tempo, melody in octaves, a variety of special techniques, chromatic movement, catchy rhythms and contrasting dynamics. The 201 measures goes by rather fast!
