{"product_id":"9781932419269","title":"Choral Fantasy, OP. 80: Vocal Score","description":"Beethoven's \u003ci\u003eFantasia for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra\u003c\/i\u003e, composed late in 1808, is sometimes described as a prototype of the Symphony No.9. The first two thirds of the work could be described as a concert piece for piano solo and orchestra. Only after 400 measures does the chorus enter, with a tune that does bear some similarity to the renowned \"Ode to Joy\" - which was still 15 years in the future when this work was composed. This new large-format vocal score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the reduction prepared by the renowned pianist Xaver Scharwenka that was first issued by Breitkopf und Hartel, Leipzig in 1915. It actually doubles as a solo part and a vocal score and is an unusual dual-purpose score that works extremely well for rehearsals and performance.","brand":"Serenissima Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055874195696,"sku":"9781932419269","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932419269_p0.jpg?v=1763639552","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932419269","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
