What a piece is this?

[Sorrano]

Yes, it is called Noteperformer. Here you can hear how ingeniously good it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOxIjOXHY2s or in my new orchestration of the op. 130 quartet: https://youtu.be/eZy0gMHtLDk

I fought Finale, so thank you for your recommendation. I haven't gotten Noteperformer, yet, but have been looking at it. Someone owes you for a commision on Finale!

Thank you, Gerd. Orchestration is quite an art, isn't it? What do you think of Debussy's orchesration? Any surprises for you? I had to do the same exercise many years ago for an orchestration class - I can't say I got any gold stars for it!

The video of the Debussy orchestration contains 2 pieces and the second at 3:05 is the one which also I orchestrated. But actually I like the first one more, for the second with the added harp and the strange percussion in the background, but also the unisono strings changes the intimate character of the original piano piece, I think. I corrected some unbalances in my orchestration by now: http://www.gerdprengel.de/satie.mp3 What do you then think of the Debussy- and my version?

[Quijote]

Here is my little score - very roughly edited and very simple, just the notes of the original piano adopted without any notes added (unlike Debussy):

I appreciate that, thank you! I am looking into purchasing these but they are a bit pricey.

I enjoyed this rendering very much, thank you! If I recall, you used Finale with an add on for your orchestrations? Long ago I had Audio Logic for Windows, using a MIDI device with instrumental samples but what you have scored sounded much better.

@Alisa : Peter had refered to my orchestration of Beethoven's op 06 which by now I have in YT: https://youtu.be/Zk3n_GsgYNk I still see more Mozart in it than Haydn ;-)

@Quijote: This Satie piece is indeed very beautiful and so far unknown to me. I will try to orchestrate it till tomorrow ...

They were orchestrated by Debussy in 1897 - No.1 at 3.05

Yup, knew that. Will be interesting to see Gerd's version.

[Quijote]

, at your request: my Satie Gymnopedie 1 for orchestra - thank you for your hint to this wonderful little gem :-) http://www.gerdprengel.de/satie.mp3
I hope you will like it ...

Thank you, Gerd. Might you have the PDF score for your orchestration?

[Peter]

Good work, Gerd.
Are you up for an orchestration challenge, something not by Beethoven?
How about the 1st Gymnopedie by Eric Satie?
Here's a score you can use:

Strange you say Mozart, it sounds more like Haydn to me!

yeah to me it's really sound like haydn

Yes, this was easier, but at least for me this movement I had long time overlooked. In 2014 I had orchestrated 4 movements of this quartett but only in the the last few days I managed to arrange this and also the great (and also somewhat overlooked) Rondo Finale: http://www.gerdprengel.de/op130-6_orch.mp3 , which I never had really loved until now. Soon I will present to you the whole quartet
