Andante Cantabile for String Orchestra

By Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

This arrangement for string orchestra of Andante Cantabile is taken from Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No. 1 in D, movement 2 (1871). An elegant and moving work, when performed at a concert to celebrate Russian author Leo Tolstoy, it was noted by Tchaikovsky that Tolstoy wept at the end of the movement. In addition to the original string quartet version, Andante Cantabile is often performed as a stand alone string orchestra work or for solo cello and string orchestra.
