Product Description
Die Drei Pintos (The Three Pintos) is a comic opera in three acts left unfinished by Carl Maria von Weber and completed by Gustav Mahler. This Entr’acte shows Weber’s fine musical taste with an expert sense of theatre. The 5:45 minute Entr’acte precedes Act 2 of the opera, and displays a statement made by Richard Strauss in 1887: “Mahler’s arrangement of Weber’s “Three Pintos” seems to me to be a masterpiece.” This arrangement for Concert/Wind Band offers another look into music history through the performance of outstanding musical examples.
