Composer: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) Instrumentation: String Orchestra Work: No. 4 in D Major from 4 Novelletten, Op. 52 Binding: ISBN: 9781638873617 Size: 8.9 x 12.0 inches Pages: None Description Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's (1875-1912) FOUR NOVELLETTEN, Op. 52, is a brilliantly crafted set of four short movements for string orchestra, with optional tambourine and triangle.

Despite his publisher's early lack of success with the work, it must certainly have been one of the composer's favorite works as he programmed the set repeatedly on concerts he conducted throughout his career. No. 4 in D Major , though intended as the finale of the set, works equally well as a concert opener. Instrumentation in set: Perc(1 opt. player:
