    I'm so late to the game and just came across your channel. These are fantastic. I actually never realized the half-step modulation. I "felt" but never consciously realized.

    A few important things have been omitted such as Piatti timings and the snare drum.
    But hey, can't talk too much crap from such an amazing score reduction. Thanks for that!

    I would've loved to see the two cymbal solo notes in the last bars noted - they add so much character to the end! Otherwise, incredible video. You do fantastic work!

      Alright, look at the beginning of the song and look on the left, there is a 4/4 for time, that means that there are four beats, and a quarter note has the beat, bounce your foot on the floor to keep time

    I have a question. In 73 bars, Harp is actually playing C# in gliss, and woodwinds are not playing C natural or C#. Why? Check out the score.

    I'm reminded of a time (can't recall if it was in brass band or orchestra) but the piece we we're practicing had similar overtones, so we Trombones all decided that when cued we'd play the main theme from Imperial March. It took a good ten minutes for everyone else to recover from laughing. Ah brass player horsing around.
