Five Duos (Rossini), No. 3 Adagio non troppo (cello duo)

Title: Five Duos, No. 3 Adagio non troppo

Composer: Gioachino Rossini, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Two Cellos

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Of all the duets in this set, this aria-like adagio gives the clearest indication of Rossini’s nascent operatic genius. It is short but remarkably expressive and nuanced for a composer barely into his teens, and it sounds beautiful played on two cellos.
