Early attempt to orchestrate piano Nocturne No.1 by Faure

Featured Replies

Hi to all,

Here's my first attempt to orchestrate this nocturne.

I actually started this last year, and never really finished it properly.

I know there's a load of things wrong with it! Not least all the missing slurs and awkward handovers, etc...

The cadenza-like figure on Pages 8 and 9 is particularly awkward to orchestrate: so any suggestions would be very welcome!

Maybe I should divide up the runs into shorter figures, and spread them out across different instruments?

Perhaps dovetailing these together with overlapping notes, or single handover notes?

That way the cadenza could work its way around the orchestra to give a nice 3D effect?

Anyway, just thinking outloud!

Hope you enjoy.
