Short Overture for Strings

Jean Berger's Short Overture For Strings (2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Bass).

It was written with the purpose of enlarging the repertoire ofstring music that - while not without challenge- could yet be played and performed by an amateur group. The emphasis is on the word 'amateur'. Hence all dynamic and tempo indications ought to be interpreted flexibly and should beadapted to the needs and the level of the technical proficiency nof the performing ensemble.
