Cesar Franck - Prelude in C minor (orchestration)

Featured Replies

Hi to all,

Just wanted to post my latest orchestration attempt.

It's the prelude from Cesar Franck's "Prelude, Fugue and Variation" (Op. 18).

This is a rough draft for midi rendition: so I haven't added slurs, etc...

Not sure about my brass passage in Bars 26-32? Perhaps I should stick with woodwind and strings?

I wonder if I should attempt the fugue and variation too? Though they would be more challenging.

Anyway let me know what you think?

Alex,

A lovely orchestration, though, I have some questions in the selection of the English Horn; especially in the lower register ... the actual projection may be more covered in the ensemble.

Thanks Mark!

I just love the colour of the English horn: so try to use it as much as possible,

Would you suggest I move these passages into the bassoon or bass clarinet?
