Reviews...

This collection of waltzes, galops, marches, polkas, etc. is similar in style to those by Johann Strauss, and are of the highest quality. The dances have been excellently scored for strings by Deborah Greenblatt, with the melody spread around the different parts. The pieces are all delightful and very melodic. Players need to be of at least intermediate level and the 1st violinist--advanced level.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
- Dr. Michael Vidulich, President,
The Australian and New Zealand Viola Society Journal, February, 2004
(Grades 5 - 6) If you need something refreshing for your string quartet or quintet (with bass), you may want to consider the Lumbye String Collection. ...these dance tunes have been skillfully arranged by Greenblatt. ...great for an advanced school ensemble or a professional group. All of the parts are interesting and will provide excellent material for concerts or for background, reception entertainment. All players get turns at the enticing rhythm patterns. Meter signatures and tempi are varied, including 2/4, 3/4, 6/8, and 3/8. The dances in this collection would need some rehearsing, but the results would definitely be worth the effort.”
- Patricia Cox,
American String Teacher
