Beethoven's counterpoint studies ORCHESTRATED

  • Hello Gerd,

    Thank you for posting your orchestration of the Beethoven study. I certainly enjoyed listening to it!

    I don't know what your software's abilities are, used for notation and playback, but may I suggest a few possibilities, if your software includes the necessary functions.

    First, I'd love to hear this with some change-ups in articulation as appropriate and second, perhaps some dynamic changes could be added too. For me anyway, this would add interest and enhance your orchestral vision.

    • Thank you, Ken, for your comment. My software does have good abilities to  do articulations. The way I did it I felt appropriate for classical fugues and I did it intentionally so. Maybe it would help me if you could refer to specific passages where the articulations are missing ... ?
