| 解説 | Like most of Leroy Anderson’s efforts， ”Belle of the Ball” is light， effervescent， and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that， the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz， but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful， fantasy-like character. The melody is rhythmic and comes in short groups of notes， beginning with two notes， then three， then expanding further; the music skates along elegantly. The middle section features a delightful variation on the theme， in which Anderson’s gentle belled sonorities impart a playful innocence. An American Pops classic in it’s original scoring， this work is part of the Anderson Classics Series by E.F. Kalmus. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 2ASax.Tsax: 4.3.3.1: Perc(3): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). A piano conductor/condensed score only is included in the set. A version by the composer for band is also available. |
