Part 4: Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Beethoven, Daquin, Saint Saens, Debussy
THE FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE - (Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov 1844-l9O8) was originally a solo violin piece, but has since been transcribed for all kinds of instruments. ON THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE DANUBE -(Johann Strauss II 1825-1899) was originally written for chorus and orchestra. FUR ELISE (Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827) is Beethoven's most famous bagatelle; it may have been written for a lady with whom he was in love, but could not marry. THE CUCKOO - (Claude Daquin 1694-1772) was probably originally a harpsichord piece. THE SWAN - (Camille Saint Saens 1835-1921) comes from a collection of works for piano and orchestra entitled "Carnival of the Animals"; it was originally a cello solo. CLAIR DE LUNE - (Claude Debussy 1862-1918) comes from a collection of piano pieces that occupied the composer for 15 years; he used 17th century clavecin music as a model for this and other early works.Release
