[matmilne]

written around 2008, performed here by my computer (all parts simultaneously) recorded internally at the same time.  Database: east west symphonic orchestra platinum.

i don't get it is this an original  composition? it's interesting and creative. the playing? hmm ok for a midi but asimo could prolly do it better


joking aside cool variations but would have been cooler to have real hands on a keyboard. great job.

Epic! It would have been great if the variations were played by the piano and the piano was played by something other than a computer which sounds like a robot.

I wrote this in 08.  It's a set of variations based on flight of the bumble bee by Rimsky-Korsakov.  the first variation is my own piano transcription of the symphonic piece, the rest are variations on that.

if any concert pianists take an interest, i'll sit down with the score and arrange the piano part for them.  At the moment, i'm learning rach3 note by note, which is taking most of the spare time i have.

I wish it was played by a real pianist. it would be so fun! thanks for sharing

a live performance would be great fun, we'll see what can be arranged next year.
