{"product_id":"string-quartet-trans-winds-no-12-f-op-96-score-parts","title":"String Quartet Trans Winds No 12 F Op 96 Score\/Parts","description":"AntoninŠDvorak composedŠthe quartet in F Major, op. 96 “The American” in the summer of 1893 during hisŠsummer vacation in Spillvale,Iowa. From 1892-1895, Dvorak served as director of the National Conserv atory of Music in NYC. He had been interested in “AmericanŠMusic” and felt that Native American and Afro-American music could inspire anŠ“American Music” distinct from European influences. He was inspired by (HenryŠThacker) Harry Burleigh, his student in New York and one of the firstŠAfro-American composers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it isŠimpossible to know why Georges Barrere chose Dvorak's F Major Quartet toŠtranscribe for Woodwind Quintet, we may easily hazard several guesses. Firstly,Šit was a work much beloved by the public and very respected by professionalŠmusicians. As an immigrant himself, Barrere could easily sympathize withŠDvorak's desire to create a distinctly American work. A work in the key of FŠMajor, it lent itself easily to wind transcription. While known as the BarrereŠtranscription, it turns out that Samuel Baron, one ofBarrere's most famousŠstudents and a long time member of the New York W oodwind Quintet, who has toŠhis credit a long list of wonderful transcriptions for woodwind quintet, playedŠa significant role in the transcription.","brand":"Southern Music Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51898415022365,"sku":"124645","price":160.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/124645.jpg?v=1781991950","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/string-quartet-trans-winds-no-12-f-op-96-score-parts","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
