Description
A refined duo arrangement of When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio, composed by Leigh Harline. The structure remains faithful to the original, while complex tempo fluctuations have been simplified for clarity and practical performance.
The solo instrument carries the lyrical vocal line, and the piano reflects the rich orchestral counter-melodies and harmonies with depth and balance. By streamlining intricate tempo changes, the arrangement preserves musical expression while ensuring stability and cohesion. It is an elegant and timeless piece, ideal for recitals, competitions, and formal concert settings.
Positions required include Violin up to 6th position, Viola up to 3rd position, and Cello up to 4th position. The arrangement calls for smooth shifting and refined tone production, particularly in the upper register.
