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":53482743529790,"sku":"01868692","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/01868692_Page-1.jpg?v=1778705825","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/bolero-for-band-for-large-symphonic-wind-band-score-and-parts","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
