    I did some research and I got interested in Stravinsky composing techniques.

    Then I just began and I found both special editions are flexible enough already for composing a Stravinskyesque piece. (I composed it being a school assignment for a short dancefilm )

    Just wondering what people here would think about Expressionism realised with vienna instruments.

    Without VSL I would dare trying to do it virtually...

     Nicely done. You have given the Stravinsky experience. I thinik VSL works very well for pieces like this. You've given me courage to try a piece which I've always wanted to mockup with VSL -- smaller but still.... (because the solo instruments are so good) --Shoenberg's Kammersymphonie No. 1.

    I think with Vienna Instruments this is possible to do it quite convincing. Vienna Instruments are the only libraries that I'm aware of, with so much realism up to the 'naked' [:P] solo instruments, they practically don't need any form of masking... And that's where the link between virtual orchestration and conventional 'classical' orchestration is growing stronger....

    So I think this mockup could be done quite well!

    Bart,

    I enjoyed this piece a lot. It's a Stravinsky mosaic. The opening reminds me of his Song of the Nightingale, but the rest is like a distilled Rite of Spring.

    Thanks for the reaction! :)

    I used The special edition bundle... and some fanfare trumpets download. I have a rather orchestral background as playing the oboe. Currently I am studying media composition in the Netherlands...
