Appassionato in E minor - Arr. Stephen Chin - String Orchestra Conductor Score & Parts

Pleyel was a highly esteemed musician in his day and somewhat of an entrepreneur eventually running a world famous publishing house in Paris in the early nineteenth century. This work, originally written for two violins in 1806, exudes all the charm and drama of a late Classical style work. Being in sonata form, the brooding first subject is contrasted with the impish second theme in staccato quavers. The movement ends with a lively duel between the first and second violins. Your orchestra will just love the vibrancy and passion in this work!
