March from Suite for Variety Orchestra, No. 1

The “Suite for Variety Orchestra, No. 1” (1956) is a work by Dmitri Shostakovich in eight movements that draws from the composer’s earlier themes. The first of these movements is the delightful “March,” originally found in “Korzinkina’s Adventures”, Op. 59 (1940). James Curnow has skillfully adapted this work for band, sure to become a welcome addition to the repertoire for winds. Dur: 3:10
