Gioachino Rossini
Written in G major, range B3 to D6
A trumpet call, and the riders are off, hooves thundering and wind in their faces, galloping all the way to the finish. It ends the overture to Rossini’s last opera, William Tell (Paris, 1829), and later became the theme of The Lone Ranger. The piano part comes from an anonymous version for violin and piano, published by Schott around 1830.
