Beschreibung

This eBook presents the Cello part of La gazza ladra ( The Thieving Magpie), the acclaimed overture by Gioachino Rossini, transcribed with precision for string quartet by Enrico Zullino. Designed for intermediate to advanced players, this version allows cellists to explore the structural and expressive core of one of the most vibrant works of the Italian operatic repertoire.
The full quartet includes:

• Violin I
• Violin II
• Viola
• Cello

Set in the key of E major, with a duration of approximately 9 minutes, this transcription captures Rossini’s dramatic flair and lively rhythmic contrasts. The cello part serves as the harmonic and rhythmic foundation of the ensemble, contributing both drive and depth throughout the work.
Included are informational sheets in seven languages (English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Polish), providing scholarly background on the overture’s historical, musical, and interpretative dimensions. These insights enhance both rehearsal and performance, making this edition suitable for concert use, private study, and academic programs.
The other parts and full score are available separately, supporting a modular approach to chamber ensemble performance. This flexibility is ideal for teachers, students, and professionals who wish to engage with Rossini’s music either individually or as part of a complete quartet.
