A popular UW string workshop classic for years. Has been on the WSMA class A list. Recorded many times. All of the high school students were very enthusiastic about their premiere of Divertimento at the University Interscholastic League High School Orchestra Contest. The students felt proud of their instrumental part and its importance in the total musical score.
Divertimento is of much value to the field of music education.
I recommend this work for high school level. Milan Svambera, Conductor to whom this work was dedicated. A solid adaptation of this unique chromatic melody from Mozart's well-known string quartet. Very playable by high school ensembles, this energetic work was featured at the 1997 Illinois State Music Convention. A skilled Baroque work from the gifted pen of Brixi, not known to people in America.
