Description
Strauss’s “Musical Joke” is a relentless and high-speed tour-de-force. Howard Snell’s arrangement for brass band is a crowd-pleasing showpiece that requires incredible technical agility and articulation from every section of the band. The piece famously “never ends,” and this arrangement captures all the humor and energy of the original Viennese masterpiece.
Difficulty 4
(Medium) A level 4 difficulty rating brings very challenging rhythms to the piece. Syncopation will be freely used, as will the more extreme ranges for all instruments.
