Flight of the Bumblebee transcriptions
on: March 01, 2003, 11:31:44 PM
Everyone knows the piece Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov, and probably the piano transcription by Rachmaninoff at least as well. Have any of you played the transcription by Joseph Strimer? How many different transcriptions are there actually?

I made a midi of the Strimer's version since I happen to have the sheet for it. Try it, its way different from Rachmaninoff's!
