Fantasy on Meyerbeer's Robert le Diable

My composition, somewhat inspired by Liszt's epic paraphrase.



Comments welcome.

Hi ronde,

Your paraphrase is absolutely outstanding!  You've been able to take your very extensive experience with a broad range of operatic transcriptions for piano that you've performed in the past, and to capture that sound here in your marvelous score and rendition.  Very stylish indeed!  And a wonderful recorded sound too.  I can't say enough about this.  Superb!

David

Thanks, David. I had a lot of fun recording this, probably because it's easier to play your own personally-written and tailored types of technical difficulties than someone else's!
