Serenata No. 4, H. 215 (Divertimento): Full Orchestra, Solo Strings with Ensemble, Conductor Score & Parts

In 1932 while in Paris, Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) composed a cycle of four serenades. While what would later be considered the fourth in the series was likely written first, the other three were composed in the same order as their corresponding number. Being chamber works, Martinu found great difficulty in seeing them published. SERENATA No. 4, H. 215 (also DIVERTIMENTO; SERENÁDA; or SERENADE) is the only one of the four in the cycle that is written for an orchestra, albeit a small one. Instrumentation: 0.2.0.0: 0.0.0.0: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): Pno: Solo Violin.Solo Viola. Reprint edition.
