Hi, I'd like to share with you my new variations for piano again on a sketched beautiful and rather melancholic Beethoven tune from 1820. Formerly I have made already an orchestration of that theme.https://youtu.be/t2xFOj5MOJo?si=9hZC7xt_SbZXbXVX
I am absolutely stymied.On 21 June, two things happened on my system: (1) Sibelius suddenly hung on startup, a problem that could not be fixed even by trashing the file containing my global Sibelius settings. I was about to give up, when I was…
"yes sorry, the guy waffled for ages about what was being played and was talking about the WTC but the actual piece was various sections lasting almost half an hour from Kunst der Fuge. As you know, I'm not terribly interested in Bach and wasn't…"
"I assume that he refered to the Finale of the Art of Fugue ..."
"Which fugue was that? I don't recall a triple fugue from WTC, nor any based on B-A-C-H from those two sets."
"incidentally, by sheer coincidence, I was at an oboe quartet private garden concert yesterday which had B-A-C-H as the theme, starting needless to say, with Bach's interminable own triple fugue from the Wohltemperiertes Klavier."
"like a number of your Beethoven re-imagings, this one is a good deal of fun once we get into the Allegro and the orchestration seems generally apt. Occasionally I again hear some harmony which seems odd - for instance is the F in violin 1 bar bar…"
"In case I wasn't clear, what I was getting at is that anything implying a prolonging of the note makes no sense over a pizzicato note. I was wondering if you wanted those to be bowed - though if you wrote a ritard instead, that would clear up the…"
"Thank you, Liz, I am glad that it speaks to you. Regarding the fermata, you may be right. I should have written "ritard" instead. I just wanted to take a breath here ..."

Hi, I'd like to present to you my new overture on the fascinating notes B-A-C-H, inspired by some sketches by Beethoven . Please read the remarks in the video description ... I hope you will enjoy…
"I write music because...
... well, it used to be because I had this orchestra playing in my head, and I wanted to capture at least some of it so that it's not lost forever. It all began when I first heard Beethoven's 6th symphony, the 4th movement…"
