Hey!
It's been awhile since I last posted here and I hope you guys are doing just fine.
My dad gave me one of those music boxes you can write any music you want, it works like a pianola (punching holes for the notes on a paper sheet).
I transcribed this little piece, that I've always imagined that sounded like a music box.
It's the first piece from Ma Mère l'Oye, the 4 hands piano suite, composed by Maurice Ravel.
Hope you like it!

Bella

Bella, that's so great! I *love* music boxes. Sometime in my life I simply must have one again ... a very, very special one. There is just something that I actually really love about the sound, well, there are similarities to the sound of the piano ... haha. Anyway, super great!

Hi Bella,

What a novelty! It was great hearing Ravel's music on the music box. Nice job setting it up. Thanks for posting it!

Thank you all of you! It's always good to know people like the same things you like, and I definitely love this music box version of the Pavane. Soon I'll be transcribing Satie's Gymnopédie no. 1 and I think it will come out lovely as well. Actually, what doesn't sounds lovely played in a music box? =)
