Schumann orchestration (Child Falling Asleep)

Hi to all.

I'm pleased to present my latest attempt at orchestrating a piano work.

I've extended the piece, and added some of my own touches, including extra counterpoint lines.

Haven't spent much time on it yet: so I'm sure I'll need to revise some things.

Hope you enjoy!

Hey @Alex Weidmann!

I really love this piece!  And your orchestration is great!  I usually like when composers try to end their music on a non-tonic chord.  And one of my favorite moves too is to end on a subdominant, which you do here.  But I think, the tonic is so well established here and repeated so much that it seems unnatural for it to end on the A minor chord.  But I like the overall ending idea - not sure how much of it is your personal addition and how much is in the original.  And the counter melodies I liked too!  You also keep the groups of instruments playing together relatively small at any given time, giving the piece that chamber feeling that it needs in this case.  Thanks for sharing - your orchestration skills are definitely improving!
