Fred, I just had a chance to listen to your Ariadne, both the piano version and the orchestral version. I am impressed, to say the least. It is, quite simply, a beautiful piece. I wish I had a better midi setup to be able to hear it in its full glory.

As I listened, it reminded me of some of the music by Ferrante & Teicher on their dual piano albums and, of course, they did a lot of movie themes. I would be very interested to hear an arrangement for twin pianos plus orchestral harp only, or perhaps with some string reinforcement. Perhaps the second piano could pick up on the clarinet and viola tracks?

I particularly love the harp glissandos towards the end which is why I think that twin pianos and harp would be a great arrangement. Keep up the great work, Fred! I may not post much, but I read most and download most music by forum members. You and MG have given me some wonderful listening pleasure and I thank you both for sharing your work with all of us.
