This arrangement of the Beethoven Allegretto for String Orchestra allows students to explore professional quality music at a relatively early stage.  Much of the music is exactly what Beethoven wrote, which gives young players some added excitement as they learn it!  All dynamics and tempos have been maintained, and only the small fugal section leading back to the first theme has been cut due to difficulty.  The transition, however, is very smooth, and most listeners won't notice it missing.  Perfect for middle and high school orchestral concerts, and a real crowd pleaser!
