Korobushka

Varying styles and an exciting accelerando at the end make this piece a solid choice for concert or festivals. “Korobushka” (The Peddler) is a Russian folk song and dance. It is based on a poem written in 1861 by Nikolay Nekrasov. The music was written sometime in the late 19th century, although the composer is unknown. The dance that accompanies the song became popular in the early 1900s and was brought to America by Russian immigrants. This is a delightful and playable arrangement created by Michael Story. (1:50)
