It's been a while since I've uploaded anything new, but I thought I would share this one that I've been working on recently. It still needs polishing, but I'm slowly making progress with it. This is my arrangement of the orchestral passage that opens the second movement of Beethoven's fifth piano concerto. Uploaded to soundcloud here.

The link doesn't work Dave, it says they can't find this track.

Whoops; okay, I've edited the link. Let me know if it's still not working. Thanks!

Now it works! That was beautiful Dave! Great job & killer tone! Nothing like the pristine clarity of an Alembic!

Thanks Rusty! In addition to Alembic, Beethoven deserves a lot of the credit; I love hearing that passage played by an orchestra.

Yeah, Beethoven definitely had some skills! I love orchestral music. My son used to play in the Houston Youth Symphony & they sounded every bit as good as the Houston Symphony! I miss those days!

nice work Dave! love also the variety and dynamics of the sound made by your fingers

David Houck · « **Reply #54 on:** December 20, 2014, 12:06:29 PM »

Thanks Peter; the passage depends on dynamics to be effective. The original has pizzicato in the bass at the beginning, which is very effective; but I didn't even try to pull that off.
