Furiant
Antonín Dvorák / Gerhard Buchner (arrangement)
Slavic dance No. 8 from op. 46
Content and score samples: 1st theme · 2nd theme

This Furiant is one of the most famous and most popular dances. One is swept along by the rapid shifts from 2-metrical rhythm to 3-metrical rhythm. As part of a program or as an encore - this music will be a success for you!

This arrangement considers the capabilities of school and amateur orchestras. Due to the key being d-minor (compared to g-minor in the original), the playing is for the most parts limited to the 1st position. Only the first violin requires the 3rd position. The part of the viola can always be taken over by a 3rd violin. The coda is slightly abridged to make the score more playable. Strings can perform this arrangement alone. One can accommodate up to six different winds (C I / II, B-flat I / II, E-flat, C-bass) as well as timpani and triangle.

The new thing about this material is – when you buy the complete edition, which includes all string and wind parts, as well as the piano score, you acquire the right to copy as many voices as you need for your orchestra! The book includes each part on two facing pages (except for the piano part).

... I just wanted to drop you a line concerning your outstanding arrangement of Dvorák's Furiant! I presented it with great success in the school concert of the Grafing Gymnasium and the students were enthusiastic. They can hardly wait for the next arrangement from your press!
