Rapsodie norvégienne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rapsodie norvégienne is a symphonic work by Édouard Lalo composed in 1879.[1]

This rhapsody is a re-instrumentation of the Norwegian Fantasy for violin and orchestra, Lalo's previous score, using Norwegian folk tunes.[2] It was first performed with great success at the Concerts Colonne (while being dedicated to Édouard Colonne, their founder) on 16 October 1879 and given again on 9 November.[3] It is written in two movements:

  1. Andantino - Allegretto
  2. Presto.[4]
