The Comedian's Waltz — Violin & Orchestra

$150.00

Instrumentation: Solo violin, full orchestra

Duration: 9 minutes   |   Advanced

Recorded: Lindsay Deutsch (violin), Orchestra Unleashed, a soul alone before God (2012)

What's included: Full conductor's score + violin part + all orchestral parts (PDF)

Description: A solo violin voice rises from silence and proceeds to charm, cajole, and manipulate the orchestra as though the orchestra were an audience. The waltz is the vehicle; what it carries is a portrait of the performer who feeds upon the laughter of others, and what that sustained performance costs. The violin is never quite sincere and never quite a lie.

Lindsay Deutsch performed the violin part for Orchestra Unleashed on the 2012 recording for a soul alone before God.
