Waltz no.2

I found an uncompleted sketch I'd made a few years ago and had forgotten. Although quite sweet as a piano piece I thought it would work well orchestrated, so here it is orchestrated and finished Sept 2022.

In the video I've put the original piano sketch running alongside the orchestration as I like to see how people orchestrate. I've used all the material I originally wrote, filled in the gaps and finished the piece off, introducing a little new, but related, material and some tweaks to themes already written (inverting intervals, mixing the melodies up internally a little, tweaking the harmonies, forever varying the orchestration - that sort of thing).

Tech corner:

Composed and rendered in StaffPad. This time I also exported the .wav file and used that for better sound quality, rather than just using the iPad's screen recording. It introduced a couple of clicks though which I got rid of with iZotope's RX 8 Elements Audio Editor.
