Dance of the Jesters, from The Snow Maiden – Rimsky-Korsakov (violin viola duo)

Title: Dance of the Jesters, from the opera The Snow Maiden

Composer: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin; Viola

Printout: 4 pages

Note: This rollicking music is perfect for celebratory events or light concert use. It is challenging to play, but worth the trouble. Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera is not to be mistaken for Tchaikovsky’s incidental music for the stage play of the same name.
