Scherzo from F-A-E Sonata

This fiery scherzo movement is a brilliant and challenging showpiece for a college or professional ensemble. It requires both rhythmic acuity and stamina. The scherzo of this multi-composer curiosity is the only movement that remains in the repertoire. Originally written for violin and piano, Michael Kaufman of the SAKURA Cello Quintet has distributed the difficulties of the piece across all five parts.
