ROMA - Allegro Cappriciosa

When you hear this piece it sounds marvellously orchestrated. On the videoscore it doesnt appear as if you have actually orchestrated it properly at all. Vlns2 and vlas are mostly empty and there parts merged into other string parts.

Hi Ablyth,

Yes! Richard Strauss is one of my favorite composers. This piece is my version of slap in the face, in a kind of Strauss, Elektra style...lol!
Well! I have been in Rome several times...! It's a very hectic and busy town, that I can recommend you to go and explore for yourself... the pizzas there are not really my style, cause the Italians bake their pizzas, sort of burnt on the bottom... I prefer the one's I ate in the north of Europe, before I went scuba diving in Jamaica... lol!

Thanks for your enthusiasm!
