Finale from Sonatina, Op. 100

Here is the perfect concert or festival piece for the high school string orchestra that is almost, but not quite ready for the Dvorak "Serenade"! With much of the composer's signature use of folk idioms and lyricism, this piece offers great teaching possibilities including a slow middle section in E Major with a bass solo. The exuberant accelerando ending will put an exclamation point to this certain favorite with your students and audiences.
