3 hours ago3 hr Hi to all,This week I decided to revise and extend my orchestration of Ravel's piano menuet in C# minor.The original is very short, and I thought a longer orchestration would work better.Haven't put the slurs in yet, as it's still a work in progress.Hope you enjoy!(P.S. If anyone knows an orchestra who might like to perform this, do let me know! I have several other companion works that would go nicely with it.)Menuet in C sharp minor (Ravel orchestration) #18 (midi).mp3 Menuet in C sharp minor (Ravel orchestration) #18 (score) #5.pdf Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Alex Weidmann
2 hours ago2 hr It seems very well orchestrated. Not over orchestrated and much clearity. Nice work. May I ask. How long have you been orchestrating for?I am also practicing orchestration but recently took it more serious.My only critique would perhaps be to use more extended techniques maybe? Like harmonics, Divisi, Mutes, Double stops and triple stops etc, play more around with textures maybe. But it's not really necessary. it's really good as is. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Bjarke

How long have you been orchestrating for?About 3 years or so, on and off.Started with my own works; but in the last few months I began orchestrating lesser known pieces by famous composers.
