DifficultyModerate difficulty for soloist; orchestra part very easy for professionals. Transparent scoring, including string solos in high registers. Could be handled effectively by school orchestras with strong first desk players.
CommentsLyrical, tonal, basically "pops" in style, but not lacking in "serious" thematic treatment. Light but not "lite".
