Beethoven's German dances WoO 13 orchestrated

[gprengel]

2 years ago I posted here the orchestration of the first half of the 12 dances from 1800 which Beethoven composed for orchestra but survived only as a piano arrangement. Now I have finished all of them. Willem Holsbergen from the unheardbeethoven website had done a groundbreaking work here more than 10 years ago. On the basis of that I orchestrated them anew: I think these dances are awesome!! One even sounds like Handel, but the best one, I think, is the finale :

I enjoyed those, thank you very much and well done!

Would you say that strings and winds and brass are balanced, or are the strings too weak in comparison?

I love these collections of dances, and I must say your orchestrations really did them justice. Well done!
