An excellent set of variations for wind orchestra amongst the plethora of variations on Paganini's 24th Caprice that exist. There were a few moments where some of these variations reminded me of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini.
I agree completely. I didn’t think another 15 minutes set of variations on this theme, particularly something as tonal as this, could really have enough new to say. But this showed a superb understanding of instrumentation for a concert band set of instruments, and lots of variety in the score. Excellent!
I absolutely LOVE watching the scores you post - thank you so much for all of them!! The feature of the contra alto, bass clarinet, & bassoons.. 😍😍😍 as a bass clarinetist I was so excited hearing this piece! I can only dream one day of playing this!
