The Carnival of Venice, is a folk tune popularly associated with the words "My hat, it has three corners" (or in German, Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken). A series of theme and variations has been written for solo trumpet, as "show off" pieces that contain virtuoso displays of double and triple tonguing, and fast tempos. Many variations on the theme have been written, most notably those by Jean-Baptiste Arban, (Del Staigers ), Herbert L. Clarke for the cornet, trumpet, and euphonium, Francisco Tárrega and Johann Kaspar Mertz for classical guitar, Ignace Gibsone for piano, and Giovanni Bottesini for double bass. Chopin's "Souvenir de Paganini", dedicated to the composer and violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, is another variation on this theme. The popular novelty song, "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?", written and recorded in 1952, is based on the tune. A more recent piece making use of the theme, by Allen Vizzutti, called "The Carnival of Venus," is regarded as one of the most difficult trumpet pieces ever written due to range and technical demands. The piece has also been arranged for tuba, notably played by John Fletcher and available on the CD ''The Best of Fletch''. Also Roger Bobo on ''Tuba Libera'' (cd). Another tubist whose performance of the piece is noteworthy is Øystein Baadsvik, a Norwegian tubist. ==Arrangements== *Paul Jeanjean (1874-1928): Venice Carnival (for clarinet) *Paganini: The Carnival of Venice (for violin) *Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909): Variations on Carnival of Venice (for guitar) *Jean-Baptiste Arban (1825-1889): Variations on 'Carnival of Venice' (for trumpet) *Elgar Howarth: The Carnival of Venice Variations (for Brass Ensemble) *Mike Mower (b.1958): Deviations on the Carnival of Venice (for flute and piano) *Wilhelm Posse (1852-1925): Variations on 'The Carnival of Venice' (for harp) *Carlo Munier for mandolin and guitar *Giulio Briccialdi Carnival of Venice for flute and orchestra Op.77 *Bob McChesney Variations on 'Carnival of Venice' for Trombone *Giovanni Bottesini Introduction and Variations on Carnival of Venice (Double Bass) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carnival of Venice (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
