Piano Music when arranged for wind instruments
on: January 16, 2010, 01:27:42 PM
Wind instruments players like clarinettists and esspecially saxophonists, due to their instrument's short history and limited reperotire, often borrow pieces from piano, violin or cello repertoire arranging them and adjusting to the idiom of their respective instrument.
The results can be interesting but sometimes also disappointing.
Chopin's Chromatic Etude can be found on you tube in arrangement for clarinet and chamber orchestra

What do you think of this practice?
Do you find piano music being more suitable in arrangement for strings or winds?
Can you give some example, good or bed?
