3 Pieces from Franz Lehar's operetta Die Lustige Witwe/The Merry Widow. Arranged for Violin and Piano by conductor Esther Bobrova Lange. These arrangements are based upon the song texts of the operetta and the character of the music. The famous melodies are equally balanced between violin and piano. Further, I have enlarged the arrangements with both rhythmical and melodious variations in the style of Franz Lehar. The bowing in the violin part is written by Arne Balk-Moeller, associate violin professor at the Southern Danish National Academy of Music, who also took into consideration the text and the music of the operetta. The nuances and articulations in both violin and piano are written according to the original vocal score. (Esther Bobrova Lange).

Vilja is Franz Lehar's most famous aria and the Merry Widow where it is taken from is his most popular operetta. It's melody is intoxicatingly beautiful and leaves its listeners humming it long after the show is over. Lisa Albrecht of the Rochester Philharmonic has arranged a most lovely rendition of this great song for Trombone quartet.About five minutes in length, this work is appropriate for an advanced player on the lead part and intermediate performers in the rest.

This lively, attractive march originates from one of the best-known operettas by Franz Lehár, Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow), a work that brought the composer enormous success. The operetta features many lovely arias, and catchy dances, but also subtle passages and wonderful singable tunes. One of those is Ja, das Studium der Weiber ist schwer (‘The study of women is difficult’), a tune incorporated in the trio of this march. Lehár obviously had high expectations for it, giving it a prominent place within the operetta. He also used it as an effective finale piece.Deze levendige mars komt uit Die lustige Witwe, een van de bekendste operettes van Franz Lehár. Ja, das Studium der Weiber ist schwer is een van de talrijke, goed in het gehoor liggende liederen uit deze operette. Wilvan der Beek verwerkte het in het triodeel van deze mars. Lehár was zich goed bewust van de uitwerking van deze melodie. Hij zette het niet alleen op een prominente plaats in zijn operette, maar hij beëindigde de operette er ookmee. In ieder geval misstaat de bewerking van Wil van der Beek op geen enkele plaats in uw concertprogramma!Dieser lebhafte, attraktive Marsch stammt aus Die lustige Witwe, einer der bekanntesten Operetten von Franz Lehár, die dem Komponisten großen Ruhm einbrachte. Die Operette enthält viele reizvolle Arien und eingängige Tänze, aber auch feinfühlige Passagen und sehr gut zu singende Lieder. Eines davon ist zweifellos Ja, das Studium der Weiber ist schwer, das im Trioteil dieses Marsches verarbeitet wurde. Lehár war sich der Wirkung dieser Melodie wohl bewusst, da er ihr einen prominenten Platz in seiner Operette einräumte und sie auch als wirkungsvolles Schlussstück einsetzte.Cette ravissante marche est extraite de La Veuve joyeuse, l‘une des opérettes les plus célèbres de Franz Lehár. Le septuor Ah ! les femmes, femmes, femmes occupe une place prépondérante dans l’oeuvre, et est majestueusement repris en final. Wil van der Beek a réalisé un excellent arrangement de cette marche pour orchestre d’harmonie qui clôturera avec exception votre programmation de concert. Questa marcia, estratta da La Vedova allegra, è una delle operette più celebri di Franz Lehár. Lehár riserva un ruolo di primo piano alla conosciutissima aria, E’ scabroso le donne studiar e, consapevole dell’effetto che avrebbe prodotto questa melodia, la ripropone nella parte finale . Wil van der Beek ha realizzato un arrangiamento che trover spazio in ogni programma da concerto.
