Concertino Op. 45:6

In Larssons 12 Concertini Op. 45, each and every instrument of an ordinary orchestra is given a relatively demanding solo concerto, but of a modest length and with modest demands on the accompanying orchestras technical proficiency. The idea wasborn when Larsson during the late 1940s was inspector of the National Association of Swedish Orchestral Societies (SOR). He then learned more about what amateurs need and can do. The Concertini are frequently performed both with string orchestra andwith piano accompaniment.
