Topic: The Ghost of Wolfgang (in tribute to Mozart)

Played on the Steinway D using distant miking borrowed from Steinway B (but with much reduced reverb and room size). String Orchestra comes from EWQL Orchestra.

I actually got to perform this one live with the backing of a high school string orchestra a few years back. Musical influences range here from Mozart (of course) to Chopin, Verdi, and Philip Glass (of all people).

Fantastic! The part from 17 seconds to 20/25seconds, 32-34, 40-42 the piano! it brings back so many memories - Symphony No. 40 in G minor, Mozart. Listened to it many times over 40 years ago with my pupils, they made paintings to it, liked it.
    This music sounds so nice I could listen to it every day. Brilliant!  I think you  are so gifted. Thanks for posting this music!

Wow!  Really nicely done.  I love the 'conversation' between the piano and the strings section.  Also, the simple restraint that it marches continually forward but doesn't get 'in your face' is really refreshing.  Superb!

Splendid !

There is even something from Michel Legrand who has just left us ...
