First Orchestration Diabellibs Rondeau Militaire

[Daniel Vallery (danielv)]

This is my first orchestration ever, after Diabelli's Rondeau Militaire for 4-hand piano. I always liked the piece, and wonder why it's not more popular.

Any comments, criticisms, etc. are welcome. I'll post the original 4-hand piece as soon as I get around to it.

Hi Daniel,

Good job on the instrumentation. It sounds very good. The strings have some chords that they may not be capable of. Perhaps "div" would work in those passages. I wonder, too, why the piece is not more heard.

all best,
