ALLEGRO APPASSIONATO Op. 43 Camille Saint-Saéns In an arrangement for 5 Cellos, or Cello Soloist with Celilo Orchestra (dedicated to Igor Saenz Abarzuza) Prepared by DAVID JOHNSTONE CELLO _I (Soloist)Note: It should be mentioned that “Allegro Appassionato” is well- known as a concert piece for cello soloist, usually heard with piano but sometimes with orchestra, Saint-Saens himself made the orchestration to this; indeed only the short duration of the work - under 5 mins - has somewhat limited the number of orchestral performances. What I have done is to ‘re-orchestrate’ it for cello orchestra or for five solo cellists. When played as a cello quintet it will sound as an intense chamber music work, with the obvious cello soloist lines from Cello I. It hardly needs to be pointed out, lam sure, but in the case of a rendition with Cello Orchestra - much to be encouraged - then obviously Celio 1 should be played by one solo cellist and the other parts (Cellos II to V) to be divided up more-or-less equally amongst all the ‘orchestral’ cellists! This arrangement is dedicated to my colleague Igor Saenz Abarzuza, Navarre cellist and teacher, who has always been supportive of my mad cello arranging projects!ALLEGRO APPASSIONATO .....
