For Four Improvers
(4-part semi-flexible ensemble)
Instrumentation:
- Part 1: Flute
- Part 2: Oboe/Flute
- Part 3: Clarinet in B-flat
- Part 4: Clarinet in B-flat OR Part 4: Bassoon
Standard – IMPROVER
Notes, rhythms and technical challenges within the range of ABRSM Grade 2 – 3 players. Parts are more independent than in the easy-level sets, making greater demands in terms of counting skills and confidence.
Individual parts are relatively straightforward, so that players can concentrate on the ensemble aspects of performance.
