Fantasy (Hummel, arr. Wilby Chiles)
Movements
Notes
Originally written for the viola and orchestra and called Potpourri op. 94 this arrangement features popular melodies from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Nozze di Figaro and Rossini’s Tancredi. In fact, about 60% of the music is borrowed from hit tunes of the day. These tunes are framed by an opening “Grave” section and a very virtuosic Rondo closing section written by Hummel.
