One of Carlo Martelli's most scintillating string quartet arrangements. The original Gershwin material is treated to an almost quasi-symphonic development. The Pavão Quartet recorded this piece on the CD Someone To Watch Over Me, released in 2006 by Landor Records LAN 277. On the same CD are four more of Martelli’s Gershwin arrangements also published by Broadbent & Dunn.

At the height of his maturity as a composer, Elgar made two suites for orchestra by expanding and developing some incidental music he had composed at the age of twelve for some private theatricals. This arrangement by Carlo Martelli is the penultimate number from the second suite and is ideal for colleges.
