Ravel calls for a very large orchestra (triple woodwinds, saxophones, large brass section, harp, celesta and percussion). Consequently, this transcription of BOLERO contains a large amount of divisi writing. It goes without saying that this transcription will be most successfully performed by large symphonic wind band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Music Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484549308734,"sku":"01868697","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/bolero-for-band-for-large-symphonic-wind-band-oversized-score","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
