Serenade for Strings, Op.48

Meer over het boek

Reflecting the warmth and happiness Tchaikovsky experienced during his 1880 autumn holiday, this serenade was initially conceived as a suite but evolved into a symphony for strings. Its cheerful character quickly made it a favorite among string players and audiences alike. The newly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. corrects numerous errors from previous versions, drawing from the composer’s manuscript and the first edition to present the work as Tchaikovsky intended. A beautiful score that captures a joyful moment in the composer’s life.
