Tchaikovsky's Chanson Triste - originally for piano - makes a lovely reflective concert piece, and gives an intermediate duo a wonderful opportunity to produce lovely chromatic harmonies which are all under the fingers. Set in Em, rather than the original Gm (2 flats) key, this arrangement is comfortable for the guitarist and requires just three sharps for the clarinettist.
My other arrangements of this haunting piece are...
- A Guitar Trio version of Chanson Triste for intermediate guitars
- A Guitar Quintet version of Chanson Triste for early intermediate guitars
- A Flute & Guitar version of Chanson Triste for intermediate players
