Description
The Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss, Opus 314
This arrangement shortens the original piece, while still retaining all of the most famous parts. Each part gets their turn to play the melody, lead harmony, secondary harmony, and bass line parts.
This piece has been arranged in a manner allowing for a wider range of groups to perform it, allowing for a group at a high school level or above to play it. All parts are written in bass clef, and no notes above A4 are required of any players. Some parts may occasionally have ossia passages notated that are more difficult, but these are optional.
This arrangement is not currently part of any compilation of arrangements available for sale by Bloux Note Music.
Though this arrangement is for cello quartet, an optional double bass part has been included should a player be available.
Currently, there are no other arrangements of this piece available from Bloux Note Music.
