The Epilogue from The Comedians, Op. 26, is the final movement of Dmitry Kabalevsky's orchestral suite, composed in 1940. This suite is known for its playful, energetic, and theatrical character, reflecting Kabalevsky’s affinity for vibrant, accessible music.
Anthony Galla-Rini has arranged this work for accordion ensemble: accordions 1-5 plus an accordion obligato part and bass accordion with two percussion lines.
The Epilogue serves as a dramatic conclusion, bringing together themes from earlier movements with a sense of resolution and grandeur. It features bold orchestration, rich harmonies, and a triumphant ending, making it a fitting close to the suite.
