The wind quintet arrangements of these two well-known overtures inaugurates a new series of arrangements for a combination of instruments whose timbral variety and diversity seem truly prede- stined to make such works accessible to the world of chamber music. Our series follows in the footsteps of countless period arrangements for wind ensemble, many of them by the original compo- sers. The only difference is that we employ a scoring devised in the early 19th century by the Franco-Czech composer Anton Reicha and raised to its present level of virtuosity by the invention of the valve horn.
