The first two thirds of the work could be described as a concert piece for piano solo and orchestra. Only after 400 measures does the chorus enter, with a tune that does bear some similarity to the renowned \"Ode to Joy\" - which was still 15 years in the future when this work was composed. This new large-format vocal score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the reduction prepared by the renowned pianist Xaver Scharwenka that was first issued by Breitkopf und Hartel, Leipzig in 1915. It actually doubles as a solo part and a vocal score and is an unusual dual-purpose score that works extremely well for rehearsals and performance. Matching full score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music (91166).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serenissima Music","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613284876439,"sku":"9781932419269","price":837.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781932419269.webp?v=1775084011","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/choral-fantasy-op-80-vocal-score-9781932419269","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
