Default Re: Boccherini - Sinfonia in C maj, G.523, 1799

Hi, Aulos43:


Certainly a challenge you've given yourself -- transcribing an entire symphony.


It's interesting to see the "chitarra" as an instrument in the orchestra. I think the gut-string guitar of the day would have a hard time being heard above the horns and brass.


I noted also that, at bar 50, the cello line goes from bass clef to tenor clef for three bars. Was that in the original?


Very nicely formatted slurs, by the way. Do you have a particular technique for placing them? I think that many would like to know if you do.


I'm curious as to your feeling that 300 bars is "pushing the limits" of Composer. I have any number of long pieces (up to a half hour in length) and haven't noticed any particular problems associated with length. Have you?
