In a few months' time, I will be playing a work which I composed in a concert with my former high school orchestra. The first problem that I noticed is that the auditorium which we will give the concert in has absolutely no way to get a grand piano in. Thus, I will have to settle for an upright.Has anybody else been in a position like this, where they had to play with an orchestra on an upright? Does anyone have any tips on how to produce better sound out of an upright? I have heard that removing the top and exposing the strings is useful. Is this true?Any thoughts and helpful replies are welcomed.Phil
is it a work for piano and orchestra, like a piano concerto? or an orchestral work employing an additional piano, which is commonly placed at the back or on the side of the stage?
how big is the hall?
how big is the orchestra?
ever think of using loud speakers?tds
