String Kids Orchestra: Allegretto by Neefe

Thursday 1 October 2015

Allegretto by Neefe

A wistful piece by the German 18th century composer Christian Gottlob Neefe, arranged for children's string orchestra. Neefe is probably best known as young Beethoven's first composition teacher, but he was a composer in his own right, as this sweet little piece shows.

Complete parts are available in this collection of baroque pieces at Sheet Music Plus: A Baroque Journey for String Orchestra

Hello! Thank you for posting all of your work to share. As a newbie string teacher I appreciate it! I would love to try this with my string group, could you please send me the parts? Thank you!

About String Kids Orchestra

I started this blog in 2012 because I wanted to share the music I have written for my pupils with other string teachers and children/youth orchestra conductors.

The pieces available on the site are either my arrangements of music in the public domain, or my own compositions. They were mostly written for small orchestras, but are equally suitable for chamber groups. The Junior pieces are intended for the age group 6–11, and the Youth pieces for pupils of 12 and older.

Feel free to use the music for any non-commercial purpose. I would appreciate it if you cited this site as your source, and of course I would love to hear your thoughts on and your experiences with the pieces!

Enjoy the music!

Elin

P.S.

Some of my pieces are now available for download as PDF files, complete with all parts, at Sheet Music Plus. At very reasonable prices. Check it out here! :)
