Описание: Rossini's "William Tell" overture is one of his most popular pieces. It was used as the theme to "The Lone Ranger" on the radio, on television, and in film. It is actually the overture to Rossini's last and longest opera which is only rarely performed; even the MET has only staged 39 performances since 1884 and only eight of those have been after 1931. It requires a fairly large cast and the tenor role of Arnoldo is extremely difficult, plus it has an aria with several high Cs in it. The overture is in four sections. The first is an extended sort of chamber work for five 'cellos with the basses of the orchestra, the second is a storm which passes directly into a duet for flute and English horn that is often used to depict dawn in film and cartoons. The last section is the most famous, the March of the Swiss Soldiers that American audiences invariably think are cowboys because of "The Lone Ranger." Alfred Whittingham's organ transcription is quite literal and very colorful but requires a little bit of finesse to be playable; Rossini's original tempos are simply not executable on the organ though the finale would be playable (if barely) by an orchestra at quarter = 152!
