Publisher Desc.  Created for string ensembles working at a level 3.5, ADAGIO AND ALLEGRO offers a wonderful opportunity for developing players to discover the brilliant and dramatic composer that is Ludwig Van Beethoven. This arrangement has been edited and shortened to 4:20, and has been transposed from its original key of Eb major to the more string-friendly key of D major. ADAGIO AND ALLEGRO is scored so that it can be successfully performed if an ensemble is missing a bass section.
