Minuetto No. 1 in A [Alf:36-A111590]

3 MINUETTI, SC 61 is a set of three minuets for string quartet by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924). Composed in the early 1890s, the work provided the composer with material for his first great success, the opera MANON LESCAUT. Puccini dedicated each dance to a significant friend or acquaintance. This Kalmus edition of MINUETTO NO. 1 IN A MAJOR has been edited and arranged for string orchestra by Lucas Drew. Minuetto No. 2 in A Major (A1116) is also available. Instrumentation: String Orchestra (8.8.5.5.5 in set).
