Quintet for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn and piano

Scherzo Op.48 is a really lyrical piece for Wind Quintet (Flute Oboe Clarinet Bassoon Horn) which lasts around 2 minutes 30 seconds. The work starts Allegro Vivo with the main theme and some variations of this theme by each instrument then appear to end up on a final Animando. It reminds of music played to hold suspense during movies. This restless piece requires a good mastering of breathing techniques. This book features score and parts.
