Work introduction
An arrangement of the famous virtuoso piece so that it can be accompanied by a string orchestra. The parts are organized in a way, that it is easily possible to perform it without a conductor. That includes the first, free part. The violin solo part remains untouched. The amount of string players in the orchestra is not relevant, but here is a suggestion: 10-10-8-8-5. Of course it is also possible with: 4-4-4-3-1
