Leopold Mozart wrote his Kinder Symphony (Children´s Symphony) to charm young people especially. This arrangement incorporates the two main melodies in the original symphony and reduces their length to about four minutes. As in the original, there are holes where various sounds, other than musical, should be sounded. Before playing Kinder Symphony, the sounds will need to be assigned. This will be great fun for your audiences as well as players.
Simplified just enough, this authentic-sounding arrangement incorporates the use of several toys to provide a highly entertaining and enjoyable concert experience. This may be played alone, or following the Toy Symphony (1st Movement) (also published by Highland/Etling) as a three-movement suite. This piece provides a great opportunity to involve other students, staff members, administrators, etc. Use your imagination!
