    Hi Guy,

    these variations are just amazing. Now I have the full VI orchestral strings,
    I'd really like to know what patch for the strings you used in the 4th variation.
    Was it a combination of runs, and another patch, or just one patch.

    thanks, I'd love to know if possible.

    best regards.

    Thanks Steve.

    It was a combination of scale runs, but it demands perfect timing for it to sound natural. However it's doable.

    Hi Guy,

    thanks for the answer. I must say that when I listened to these variations I would start thinking how the instrumental combinations you used were very effective, and, particularly this variation, gave me ideas for a piece using a similiar sound in the strings.

    Thanks again for your reply,


    best,

    I think it's like learning to play the violin, you have the tool but the more you improve the playing aspect the faster and better everything goes.

    I've always loved Schumann's Kinderszenen. Schumann is in my mind one of the greatest romantic composers, perhaps THE greatest. Guy has done a remarkable job
    in bringing the spirit of the original into the orchestral rhelm. At times one comepletely forgets that this is an orchestral library. Scary!
    Way to go Guy.

    I agree, and really liked these both for bringing the great R. Schumann into prominence here - he is one of the greatest composers ever - and for the huge range of imagination that Guy shows in his variations.

    Thanks Blochmusic and welcome,

    I agree Kinderszenen is a treasure.


    William,

    Thanks! I have to say I'm particularly proud of this demo.
