Scherzo

A tour-de-force orchestral work especially for the string section, the Scherzo from Felix Mendelssohn’s (1809-1847) “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a fast, light exhilarating work depicting William Shakespeare’s fantastic play. As a euphonium quartet, it works well to feature the virtuosity of all four players as well as to exhibit the amazing, nimble quality of the euphonium throughout an extensive performing range.
