About the composition

Maurice Ravel: Bolero arranged by Martin Burkhardt, Score (21 pages) and 8 parts
One of the most famous pieces of classical music. While the original displays changes in sound colours and a continuous crescendo this arrangement for 8 cellos is most successful. Martin Burkhardt decided not to make a literal version and this cello-ensemble-version is limited to 160 bars. For the full length of the piece a variety of instruments would be necessary for it to be kept interesting. This arrangement had a successful launching at the cello summer and is great fun.
