"Overture" from Egmont

These meticulously crafted reductions are designed to address common challenges faced by conductors in gaining practical experience and advancing their careers in music. They provide valuable opportunities for both emerging and seasoned conductors to rehearse with musicians in a variety of settings, including workshops, classes, and live performances. Arranged for piano sextet (2 violins, viola, cello, bass, and piano), these reductions aim to facilitate access to a core ensemble while minimizing logistical and financial obstacles. For added flexibility, the works may also be performed by a piano quintet (2 violins, viola, cello, and piano) using an included piano ossia. In both configurations, the string players perform their original orchestral parts.
