PDF Preview Description In this arrangement of the Bolero Christian Beyer dares something that would certainly have led most arrangers to throw up their hands in despair. The result is striking: a version (stylish and sensibly cut) of the well-known masterpiece, which, through clever instrumentation, totally exploits the wind quintet's timbres and tonal possibilities. The ostinato by the snare drum can be added ad libitum. for the first 4 measures, oboe and clarinet key clicks are responsible for introducing the rhythm.
