Sinfonietta
A sinfonietta is a symphony that is smaller in scale or lighter in approach than a standard symphony. Although of Italian form, the word is not genuine in that language and has seldom been used by Italian composers. It appears to have been coined in 1874 by Joachim Raff for his Op. 188, but became common usage only in the early 20th century. A number of composers have written works in this format: ⁕William Alwyn's Sinfonietta for strings ⁕Malcolm Arnold's Sinfonietta No. 1, Op. 48, Sinfonietta No. 2, Op. 65, and Sinfonietta No. 3, Op. 81 ⁕Jürg Baur's Triton-Sinfonietta: 3 Grotesken für Kammerorchester ⁕Arnold Bax's Sinfonietta ⁕Lennox Berkeley's Sinfonietta, Op. 34 ⁕Herbert Blendinger's Sinfonietta, Op. 30 ⁕Eugène Bozza's Sinfonietta for string orchestra, Op. 61 ⁕Benjamin Britten's Sinfonietta, Op. 1 ⁕Henry Cowell's Sinfonietta for chamber orchestra ⁕Ingolf Dahl's Sinfonietta for concert band ⁕Peter Maxwell Davies's Sinfonietta accademica ⁕Louis Durey's Sinfonietta for strings, Op. 105 ⁕Ulvi Cemal Erkin's Sinfonietta for string orchestra ⁕Iván Erőd's Minnesota Sinfonietta, Op. 51
