Waltz
I love the 19th century — no doubt a conservative thing. And, no, not because of “racism and “colonialism,” or the “patriarchy.” Mostly because of the arts of the period — grand, majestic, and profound.
Anyway, I want to stitch together some short pieces I’ve composed into a (very) short symphony. All I required was a scherzo and worked one up over the last couple of weeks. I literally whistled the piece and sent it to “Franco,” a guy on the Fiverr website to be orchestrated. Thus far he performed this piano version and it came out quite well.
