Grande Serenade En Potpourri

This edition is based on an early nineteenth century edition, originally published by the composer himself in what appears to have been a vanity publishing operation. This Serenade was composed and published simultaneously with another work with the same title, and for the same ensemble. The same title page was used for both serenades and the opus number, Op. 63 for the current work and Op. 66 for its companion, and the ordinal number of the work, Serenata prima for the current work and Serenata seconda for its companion, were written by hand on the respective title pages. Nevertheless, the opus number of each Serenade is printed on the first page of the piano part, and all the parts carry the designation of Serenata 1ma for Op. 63 and Serenata 2da for Op. 66. This score has been compiled from the separate parts of the original Artaria edition and include the principal instruments for the ensemble.
