I am surprised that these miniatures have not been given the rightful amount of attention, they are indeed very nice pieces
I cannot comment anything about the orchestration, which Mike mentions in his post, since I do not have Finale available for the moment. Judging from the midi files, which certainly is not the most ideal way to base ones opinion over a piece, I really like what I hear. It sound very
you, if you understand what I mean. For example, in the last piece, the tempo is at first rather slow. What you love to do is to increase it quickly into some rapid cat and mouse chase speed
I like these pieces, I should take a closer look when time allows me
