FESTIVE OVERTURE Dimitri Shostakovitch

Publisher: De Haske Publications, Holland

Duration: about 6 mins.

Key: B-flat Major (original key: A Major)

Grade: 5

Donald Hunsberger's transcription of this piece is very skillful. He transpose original key A Major to A-flat Major. I transpose it to B-flat Major. It is very hard (and terrible!) for brass player but easier for wood winds. Don't conduct in slow tempo!

If you play this music, please see Errata list.
