Tchaikovsky - Eugene Onegin Waltz

[JeffD]

Does anyone know of a transcription of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin Waltz, done as a "standard" danceable A part and B part waltz. I think it would sound great on the mandolin, and be great fun for the dancers, but I don't know what to do for the B part.

Jeff,

I don't know of a standard waltz version, but there is a concert paraphrase for piano of the opera. It might be a useful place to start. It was done by Paul Pabst in 1880. There are scores on IMSLP: http://imslp.org/wiki/Concert_Paraph...Pabst,_Paul%29

There are also several piano transcriptions of Act II No. 13, which contains the waltz. There seem to be 4 major themes, each of which could be a 16 bar section. Maybe an ABCA or ABCDA form? http://imslp.org/wiki/Eugene_Onegin,...vsky,_Pyotr%29
